Cafe Amaretto

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:

  • Brew a cup of hot coffee or pull a shot of espresso
  • 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)
  • Enjoy your Cafe Amaretto!

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