Amaretto Coffee - An Italian After Dinner Drink


	Amaretto Coffee A traditional after-dinner drink This amaretto coffee is very very very basic. We drink it often after dinner. And after awhile you won't look at these ratios, you will adapt it for your own taste buds. Now there is a little heavier hitting amaretto coffee, it's similar, but has a little more of a kick. It's the cafe amaretto. It has these same ingredients, but cognac added. Usually I'm so busy gabbing after dinner, I just go for this recipe. And really, I don't go for it - my husband is my after dinner coffee slave and he takes care of it for me. However, he tends to tip the bottle a little more than I would. But you know men, they usually have an ulterior motive when they give us more booze than we ask for.

Lisa Amaretto Coffee YIELD: 1 Serving Ingredients: 1-2 oz amaretto 8 oz coffee * 1/2 - 1 oz cream( sometimes I stir this is - and sometimes I use the squirt bottle kind) Procedure * Uh, lets see.. * Take out clean glass. * Take out amaretto. * Take a shot of amaretto to make sure it's good enough to serve. * If amaretto passes the taste test - proceed forward. * I usually use a small after dinner dessert-drink mug - but I posted for a normal size mug. * Throw it all together. * Either stir in cream (yeah, you really do want it!) * OR * Use the squirty cream and make a pretty fluff on the top. * Honestly, the flavor of the cream stirred in really makes this drink. Squirty cream is pretty but blends rather oily and not as tasty. Now, that's just my food-snob opinion. NOTE: This costs $6.00-$10.00 at a bar. Costs a fraction of that at home! REAL IMPORTANT NOTE: Make up a guest bed if you are serving friends or family. Keep your loved ones safe. Never drive buzzed, or tipsy - BECAUSE THAT'S FLIPPIN' DRUNK! (Yes, I have teen-agers) What is amaretto An Italian liqueur that tastes like sweet almonds. BUT - there is wa-a-a-a-y more to it than just almonds! Which brand of amaretto is the best? Ok, I'm older - like I'm 49. (Yeah, really. At least for a while longer.) I grew up with DiSaronno around my parents house. Di Saronno is a brand name, like KRaft or Pepsi. Amaretto was only recently imported to the USA. Ok, well in the 1960's. When it was newly imported here (in the USA) - that is what my family bought. I'm only partial to it - because I'm old school. The flavor is proven to me. And I know what to expect. Back to the top of the amaretto coffee. Click here to see the Italian drinks page.

Ok, not MASSIVE amounts. But I do have to finish off the evening meal with a little sweet something. When I was a kid my health conscience mother would ration my Halloween candy. Her mantra was, "white sugar will kill you". But my Italian grandma always told me, "Everybody needs a little bit of sugar." :-) So, to get my October Halloween sugar fix I will make the traditional Italian cookie recipe, Venetian Bones of the Dead. Italians make these for the Day of the Dead on November 2nd. So - hey, our holiday in America - Halloween is the closest. So - while the neighborhood is slamming down a bunch of gross mass produced candy on October 31st, I'll have a real goodie. Oh yeah, I'll have to post it too! (Eventually!) You know how it is. Work. Kids. Clean. Cook. I'll see if Bones Of The Dead is in my grandma's first recipe file she started when she married in 1932. Most of the recipes on my site came from her influence. If they aren't in her file - then I got them from her friends. And the remainder I experimented with adapting her style. I hope she looks down and smiles this Halloween.
