Notes
Tips & Variations
- 2:1 ratio - keeping a 2:1 Coke to Amaretto ratio helps to keep the flavor well balanced in this drink. You can scale it up to make more than one glass as long as you stick to this ratio.
- Don't get fizzy - instead of shaking this drink to mix it, use a bar spoon to stir it up so that the Coke doesn't get all fizzy.
- Use clear ice - this isn't a MUST have, but if you are making cocktails often, using a clear ice maker can ramp up your drinks. Use clear ice in this cocktail to give it a nice look and even melting.
- Different Coke - try out diet coke, coke zero, cherry coke or other coke variations to change up the flavors in this drink.
