Café Amaretto
cherry almond, espresso and whip cream. You’re welcome.
I first had a version of this drink in the Caribbean 10-plus years ago and it’s been my staple Christmas treat ever since. There’s enough sweetness (not to mention alcohol) to kickstart an elephant in this thing, so sip slowly on this decadent dessert— not that I ever can. —CFG
