Some people do display allergies to walnuts, so be sure to tell them before you serve it.


Using unique-flavored liqueurs is a great way to spice up your bar's drink repertoire. A great example is the earthy, sweet flavor of walnut liqueur. Whether you're hosting a party or trying to increase business, the distinctive deliciousness of these walnut liqueur drinks will surly impress your guests.


The Nutty Italian


The Nutty Italian is one of the most famous cocktails that utilizes walnut liqueur. The Italian liqueur amaretto, combined with walnut and hazelnut liqueurs help give this drink its name. Just add 1oz. of each liqueur, 2 ozs. of half-and-half cream; shake over ice and serve.


Ice Cold in Alex


A rare walnut liqueur drink, the Ice Cold in Alex uses port, a fortified wine, to give it a real kick. Just combine 2 ozs. of port, 1 oz. of walnut liqueur and 1 oz. of cream. Shake this over ice and serve in a brandy snifter with a dash of allspice.


Peter and Paul


The Peter and Paul is another walnut-flavored drink that utilizes port, but instead of cream, you combine the mixture with a dash of orange bitters and a splash of tonic water. Shake 2 ozs. of port, bitters and 1 oz. of walnut liqueur over ice, pour over fresh ice and add a bit of tonic water.


Moscow in Mexico


This strange concoction uses vodka, walnut liqueur, espresso and Kahlua® to create a one-of-a-kind coffee martini that packs a real punch. Simply combine all of the ingredients and shake them over ice, straining into a martini glass. Increase the coffee experience by adding milk froth and dashing a little cinnamon or spice on top.
