The Toasted Almond Drink: decadence in a glass

The Toasted almond drink is a perfect winter holiday sipper. It is a decadent and creamy plus easy to make cocktail.

What is a Toasted Almond Drink?

The toasted almond drink tastes like a very creamy eggnog filled with strong hints of toasted almonds. There are a few hints of coffee as well as chocolate flavor from the kahlua. You do get a little bite from the Amaretto at the very end as well.

This drink gets its almond flavor of course from the amaretto. Which is a almond liqueur with other flavors in it as well.

The creaminess comes from both the Kahlua and the heavy cream.

And when all combined together you get a creamy decadent almond, eggnog flavor.

This drink is full of creamy decadence. For a cozy winter night or winter holiday festivities. The hint of nutmeg garnish on the top is the perfect addition to really emphasize the flavors.

This drink is similar to a white russian. So some of the ingredients are similar, some are also the same and both are dessert drinks.

Similar creamy Kahlua cocktails include the brown cow and a sombrero drink.
