    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.

    How to make this drink:

    This drink is dangerously easy to make. It’s dangerous because you might want to make several.
