Amaretto coffee is a simple yet indulgent drink that combines rich coffee, velvety heavy cream, and the nutty sweetness of Amaretto liqueur. It’s the perfect cozy treat, whether you’re unwinding after dinner or enjoying a quiet weekend morning.
Today I’m going to talk about three of my favorite things! Coffee, Amaretto, and Cream. This recipe was inspired by my Irish Coffee recipe, and the ingredients just happen to create this awesome after dinner or cold fall afternoon drink!
Why You’ll Love Amaretto Coffee
Cozy Almond Flavor: The warm, nutty flavor of Amaretto pairs perfectly with rich coffee, giving you a comforting drink that feels like a cozy hug in a mug.
A Sweet Kick: The subtle sweetness of Amaretto adds just the right amount of flavor without needing extra sugar, making it a delicious treat any time of day.
Perfect for Relaxing: Whether you’re winding down after dinner or just want to enjoy a quiet moment, Amaretto coffee has a smooth, mellow vibe that’s great for relaxing.
Equipment
- Coffee maker
- Coffee mugs
- Shot glass or measuring cup
Hint: I absolutely LOVE my Ninja coffee maker! (affiliate link)
Substitutions
Non-dairy version: swap out cashew milk for the heavy cream for a dairy free version that still is creamy and delicious.
Caffeine free: swap out regular coffee for a decaffeinated coffee.
Liquor swap: substitute a hazelnut, coffee, or Irish cream flavored liquor for the amaretto.
Hint: want an even more intense amaretto coffee drink? Swap out this homemade almond coffee creamer for the heavy cream!
Variations
Maple Amaretto Coffee: stir in a tablespoon of maple syrup for a sweeter twist on your coffee.
Amaretto Mocha: Add a spoonful of chocolate syrup to your Amaretto coffee for a rich, chocolate almond twist.
Amaretto Cinnamon Spice: Sprinkle in a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor that complements the nutty Amaretto perfectly.
