You only need a few simple ingredients to make this toasted almond cocktail.
See the recipe card below for the exact quantities of each ingredient.
- Heavy Cream: Creates a smooth, creamy texture for the drink.
- Kahlua Coffee Liqueur: Adds a bold, slightly bitter coffee base with a touch of sweetness.
- Amaretto Liqueur: A nutty almond flavor.
To whip up this chilled drink, you'll want a cocktail shaker, shot glass and a spouted measuring cup.
- Lighter Drink: Swap heavy cream for almond milk or coconut milk for a lighter option.
- Vodka Variation: Add a shot of vodka or vanilla vodka for a stronger kick.
- Chocolate Twist: Drizzle chocolate syrup inside the rim of your glass before pouring for an indulgent dessert cocktail.
- White Russian Swap: Replace amaretto with vodka to create a White Russian-inspired variation.
- Spiced Topper: Sprinkle ground cinnamon or coarse sugar on top for extra flavor and texture.
Look at how simple it was to make this quick cocktail.
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
Pour in heavy cream, Kahula and Amaretto. Give it about 10 shakes then strain into a glass filled with ice.
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top.
Hint: Always use fresh ice; old ice can water down the flavor of creamy cocktails.
- Shaken/Stirred: Shake in a cocktail shaker for about 10 seconds (the shaker should be very cold) with ice for the smoothest blend.
- Glass: Pour over ice for a casual vibe. Or for a classy touch you can strain into a chilled martini glass.
- Garnishes: Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, grated chocolate or a swirl of chocolate syrup for a dessert cocktail touch.
- Serve Chilled: The colder, the better; creamy cocktails taste best when frosty.
Another great creamy cocktail we love is a twist on a classic mojito, our Coconut Milk Mojito.
