A joy of Almond

A compact, dessert-style shot that layers coffee and almond liqueurs for a rich, sweet sip. Visually it’s a striking three-tiered stack of dark coffee, amber amaretto, and pale almond crème that holds its separation when poured carefully. Worth trying for the bold coffee-marzipan flavor and the theatrical layering technique in a single quick shot.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Kahlúa® Coffee Liqueur
  • 0.5 oz Amaretto Liqueur
  • 0.5 oz Crème de Noyaux Liqueur

Instructions

  1. Chill a shot glass thoroughly, either by placing it in the refrigerator or by filling it with ice water for a couple of minutes then discarding the ice water before use.
  2. Pour the Kahlua into the chilled shot glass as the base layer, ensuring a steady hand to avoid spills.
  3. Carefully layer the Amaretto on top of the Kahlua. Use the back of a spoon to guide the Amaretto slowly over the Kahlua to create distinct layers.
  4. Finish by gently floating the Creme de Almond on top of the Amaretto. Again, use the back of a spoon for an even distribution and to maintain separation between layers.
