Method
Coffee Base
Brew
Brew 1 cup of strong coffee. If you want a more concentrated flavor, pull 1 shot of espresso in addition to or instead of the brewed coffee. Keep the coffee hot.
Liquor & Sweetener
Combine
In a warmed coffee mug, add 1 tsp brown sugar (or simple syrup) and 1.5 oz amaretto. Pour the hot coffee (and espresso shot if using) over the amaretto and sugar. Stir well until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is evenly combined.
Cream & Toppings
Prepare cream
Lightly whip 2 tablespoons heavy cream until it’s slightly thickened but still pourable (soft peaks are not necessary). This creates a richer texture and prevents the cream from immediately mixing into the coffee.
Finish & Garnish
Float the lightly whipped cream over the surface of the amaretto coffee by spooning it gently on top. Add 2 tablespoons whipped cream if you prefer a sweeter, dessert-like drink. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon toasted sliced almonds over the whipped cream and dust with 1/2 tsp grated dark chocolate or cocoa powder if using. Serve immediately while hot.
