Add a little spirit to your coffee this season. This Café Amaro is smooth, slightly bitter, and perfectly balanced — a cozy after-dinner sip that feels like the holidays in a cup.
Ingredients:
1 oz Amaro (such as Averna, Montenegro, or Nonino)
1 oz coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa or Mr. Black)
4 oz freshly brewed hot coffee
1/2 oz simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
Fresh whipped cream or frothed milk, for topping
Grated orange zest or shaved chocolate, for garnish
Instructions:
In a mug, combine the amaro, coffee liqueur, and hot coffee.
Stir in simple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream or frothed milk.
Garnish with a sprinkle of orange zest or chocolate shavings.
Serve warm and enjoy the rich, bittersweet balance.
