Cafe Amaretto is a type of coffee or espresso drink that is flavoured with Amaretto, an almond-flavoured liqueur. It tastes both sweet and bitter and can be served as a desert or a night-cap. It has a very distinct flavour that is hard to forget. It can also be served over ice for a refreshing summertime treat.
Here is a recipe for a classic Cafe Amaretto:
Ingredients:
- 1 oz Disaronno Amaretto liqueur
- 1 cup of hot brewed coffee or Espresso
- 1 oz cognac (or brandy)
- 1 tablespoon whipped cream
- Cocoa powder (optional)
Directions:

- Pour the Amaretto liqueur into the coffee or espresso
- Add cognac and stir to combine
- Top with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder (if desired)

You can also add a splash of Bailey’s Irish Cream to give it a richer, creamier flavour.
