Equipment

  • Cocktail Shaker and Strainer

Ingredients

  • ounces Amaretto Liqueur
  • ounces Coffee Liqueur
  • 2 ounces Cream or Milk

Instructions

  • Pour both the amaretto and coffee liqueur, or Kahlua, as well as the cream or milk into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  • Shake the contents vigorously for about 10 to 15 seconds to not only chill the mixture but also mix the contents well and generate the frothy cream on top.
  • Strain the mixture into a cocktail glass filled with ice. Typically this beverage doesn't contain a garnish but you can top it off with some fresh orange peel, and mint leaves, or even place a cherry on a cocktail skewer. Serve it in a martini glass or a highball glass over ice.

Notes

  • Line the rim of the glass. Dip the rim of your glass into some caramel or chocolate syrup and then pour some coarse sugar, Christmas sprinkles, or even graham cracker crumbs onto a flat surface and dip the rim in to coat it.
  • Make it dairy free. Swap the cream for canned coconut milk, almond milk, or your favorite non-dairy milk to make this cocktail dairy free.
  • Don't skip using a cocktail shaker. Avoid just pouring the ingredients into a glass and stirring the contents. It's important to shake them with ice in a shaker. This softens the cream and adds a froth to the top.
  • The measurements aren't finite. You can play around with the measurements of the liqueurs and the cream. Typically the liqueurs are equal and the cream is a little less or more depending on your preferences.
  • Add some vodka. Some versions of the toasted almond cocktail contain vodka, which is a delicious addition and will also make it stronger. You can add 1 ounce to kick up your cocktail a notch. Try a flavored vodka to add even more to you drink.
