Are you hosting a cocktail party and looking for the perfect drink to impress your guests? Look no further than this exquisite Toasted Almond Cocktail.
Amaretto is one of my favorite liqueurs. It is a sweet almond-flavored Italian liqueur made from a base of apricot pits or almonds, (or sometimes both.)
When Amaretto is combined with the rich coffee notes of Kahlua and the velvety taste of cream, you end up with a special drink.
Not all good cocktails contain spirits. Sometimes, they are a nice blend of liqueurs. Today, we’ll be using two popular spirits to make one great-tasting drink in just minutes.
It’s a drink that’s as easy to make as it is delightful to sip. Keep reading for this dessert cocktail recipe!
Almonds have a delicious flavor and I use them often in recipes for both food and drinks.
There’s nothing quite like unwinding with friends, particularly when you add a sophisticated cocktail like this one.
If you want a drink that combines sophistication with decadence, the Toasted Almond drink is the perfect choice.

Making a Toasted Almond Cocktail
To make this decadent drink, you’ll need these ingredients and supplies:
- 1 1/2 ounces of Amaretto liqueur
- 1 1/2 ounces of Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
- 2 ounces cream or half-and-half
- Ice cubes
- Toasted almonds (for garnish, optional)
- Cocktail shaker
- Martini glass or highball glass
Instructions
Start by filling a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. This will help you chill the ingredients to perfection.
Pour in the Amaretto liqueur, followed by the Kahlua, and finish with the cream. (You can also use half-and-half if you don’t have cream.)
Cover the shaker, and give it a vigorous shake to blend the ingredients and chill them thoroughly. When mixed, strain into a chilled cocktail glass or rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
Toasted almonds and a maraschino cherry make the perfect garnishes.
Note: For a lighter version, you can also make it with skim milk or Silk vanilla soy milk, which is good too. The drink won’t be as thick or decadent but it is still delicious and saves on calories.
