This Cherry Almond cocktail is such a great after dinner drink. It is like an adult milkshake, but with a sophisticated flavor. You will absolutely find it difficult to not chug it or ask for more! This may be my favorite all-time dessert drink!

The Cherry Almond

  • 1 oz. Cherry liqueur or Cherry Brandy

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!

Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
