Today’s recipe is for a delicious coffee amaretto, perfect for those who love the combination of coffee and almond flavors.
Ingredients
To create this delightful beverage, you will need:
- 205 g almond milk
- 30 g non-alcoholic rum (you can use alcoholic rum if preferred)
- 10 g almond syrup
- 2 shots of espresso
- Almond slices for garnish
Preparation Steps
Step 1: Prepare the Espresso
- Brew 2 shots of espresso. This enhances the coffee flavor in the drink, providing the necessary caffeine boost.
Step 2: Mix Ingredients
- In a pitcher, combine the following:
- 205 g almond milk
- 30 g non-alcoholic rum
- 10 g almond syrup
- 2 shots of espresso
- Steam the mixture, expanding it by 10% as you would for a latte.
Step 3: Serve and Garnish

- Garnish with almond slices.
Tasting Notes
This beverage is dessert-like, with a noticeable sweetness and a hint of spice from the rum. Despite using non-alcoholic rum, it retains the depth and warmth of an alcoholic version. The almond syrup and milk blend well, though the almond syrup’s intensity slightly overshadows the milk.
Variations
- Using Regular Milk: If you prefer a creamier texture, substitute almond milk with regular cow’s milk. This creates a rich contrast with the rum.
- Garnish Options: The almond slices add a crunchy texture, but you can omit them if you prefer a smoother drink.
Enjoyment
This coffee amaretto is best enjoyed hot, making it a perfect drink for winter and spring. Experiment with the recipe to suit your taste and enjoy the blend of coffee and almond flavors.
Prepare this delightful beverage at home and experience the rich, nutty flavors combined with robust coffee.
