The Toasted Almond is a dessert cocktail made to mimic the flavor of toasted almonds or the toasted almond ice cream bar from your childhood! It is similar to a White Russian, but the addition of Amaretto gives it a whole different flavor profile.
Toasted Almond
1 oz. Amaretto
1 oz. Coffee liqueur (Mr. Black)
1-1/2 oz. Cream (Half-&-Half)
1 oz. Vodka (Optional)*
Toasted Almond

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!
