1 minHot coffee gets a generous shot of amaretto liqueur, then crowned with a swirl of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry for retro Italian cafe flair.
It’s basically a boozy coffee that tastes like liquid almond tiramisu, ready in the time it takes to brew a cup.
Serve it with a spoon so you can eat the cream-soaked cherry at the end.
Chef Tips
- Fresh hot coffee: Use freshly brewed hot coffee for the best flavor; reheated coffee tastes stale and won’t complement the amaretto.
- Real whipped cream: Skip the aerosol can and use real whipped cream if you can; it tastes richer and holds its shape better on hot coffee.
- Adjust sweetness: The amaretto is already sweet, so taste before adding sugar; you might not need any.
