Prepare the cherry puree, maraschino liqueur, vanilla liqueur, and vanilla syrup mixture in advance and refrigerate. Add champagne and the splash finish immediately before serving to preserve carbonation.
Use a dry or extra-dry champagne or quality sparkling wine. Avoid overly sweet varieties so the cherry and vanilla elements remain balanced.
Maraschino liqueur can be swapped for cherry liqueur; vanilla liqueur works best as-is, though vanilla extract (1/8 oz) is a budget option. Adjust vanilla syrup if changing liqueurs.
Blend fresh or frozen pitted cherries until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve to remove solids if a cleaner texture is preferred.
Serve in a champagne flute or coupe glass to showcase the layers and preserve carbonation.
