Ingredients for a toasted almond cocktail
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.
To make this decadent drink, you’ll need these ingredients:
- 1 ½ ounces of Amaretto liqueur
- 1 ½ ounces of Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
- 2 ounces of cream
- Ice cubes
- Roasted almonds (for garnish, optional)
You’ll also need a cocktail shaker.
How to make this amaretto and Kahlua cocktail
Amaretto is an almond-flavored Italian liqueur made from a base of apricot pits or almonds (or sometimes both).
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 use half-and-half or evaporated milk 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.
