Amaretto And Cream

Pro tips

• Chill both ingredients before mixing for the smoothest, most refreshing serve
• Stir gently rather than shake to avoid over-aerating and maintain a silky texture
• Use quality amaretto for better almond flavor; cheaper brands taste artificial

Substitutions

• Half-and-half → whole milk (lighter body, less richness)
• Half-and-half → heavy cream (richer, use less for sweetness balance)

Can I use whole milk instead of half-and-half?

Yes, but half-and-half creates a richer, creamier texture. Whole milk will produce a lighter drink.

Should this drink be served cold or warm?

Typically served chilled over ice or as a shot at room temperature, depending on preference.

How do I prevent curdling when mixing cream with liqueur?

Stir gently and avoid extreme temperature changes. If using hot ingredients, add the cream slowly to the warm amaretto.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Mix fresh when serving; pre-mixing may cause separation or curdling.
