1
Brew the Coffee
Start by brewing 4 ounces of strong coffee. You can use a coffee maker, French press, or pour-over method depending on your preference. Once brewed, set aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of Amaretto d'Sarrano and 1 ounce of Crème de Cacao. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture.
3
Combine with Coffee
In a glass, pour the chilled mixture from the shaker. Then, slowly add the brewed coffee to the glass, allowing the flavors to meld.
4
Add Whipped Cream
Top the drink with 0.5 cup of whipped cream. You can either use store-bought whipped cream or make your own by whipping heavy cream until soft peaks form.
5
Garnish and Serve
For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream. Serve immediately and enjoy your Classic Manhattan!
