- 1.5 oz Amaretto
- 0.5 oz Coffee liqueur (Kahlua)
- 1.5 oz Heavy cream
- freshly grated nutmeg (garnish) garnish
Pairs With
Serve as dessert itself with tiramisu or espresso panna cotta, as this creamy cocktail's coffee and almond notes perfectly complement rich, coffee-forward Italian desserts. No additional food needed—treat it as the finale.
Instructions
Combine amaretto, coffee liqueur, and heavy cream in a cocktail shaker
Fill with ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds
Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass
Grate fresh nutmeg over the top as garnish
Tips
Shake hard to properly emulsify the cream with the liqueurs — a weak shake leaves the drink separated and thin Substitute half-and-half for a lighter version, or use oat milk for a dairy-free alternative For a frozen variation, blend all ingredients with a cup of ice for a boozy milkshake
