Serve amaretto coffee as a dessert drink with sweets.
Amaretto is an almond-flavored Italian liqueur used to prepare an array of cold and hot cocktails. Amaretto adds nutty and aromatic flavors to a mixed drink and can be served as a bar mixer or afterdinner spirit. Amaretto drinks pair well with holiday foods and desserts that have nutty and warm spice undertones of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. With taste pairing concepts in mind, serve amaretto concoctions with spiced meats, breads and cakes or sip amaretto cocktails for a refreshing beverage.
