This Amarula cocktail has a delicious coffee layer with a creamy Amarula topping. And flavored with a pinch of cinnamon. Fruity with a velvety finish. Delicious!
Have you ever seen the Elephant Tree in real life? I haven't, but then again it's not a tree that is found in the Netherlands. The Elephant Tree or the Marula is found in Africa. And on this tree, there are green fruits that turn yellow when they are ripe. But why am I telling you this? Because of these fruits, Amarula liqueur is made.
A creamy liqueur
The liqueur that's made from the Marula fruits is mixed with cream and then becomes Amarula. Does that sound familiar to you? Yes indeed, because Baileys (one of my favorite drinks) is also mixed with cream. Amarula has that link with Baileys in terms of the velvety finish, but it's more fruity.
When do you drink this cocktail?
Now of course you can drink it straight (without ice, because personally, I don't like a diluted creamy drink). But you can make it even more special by making a cocktail. I used Marakesh, a delicious coffee liqueur with a deep taste. And then you get this cocktail. Stir everything with a stick of cinnamon and you've got a super delicious drink when relaxing at the pool, on the terrace, or...
- First put the Marakesh liqueur into the glass. Then pour the Amarula in the glass via the back of a spoon. That way the two drinks won't mix and you get two layers.
- Don't add ice, because diluting Amarula with water isn't tasty. If you prefer this drink cold, put the bottle in the refrigerator.
- Replace the cinnamon with nutmeg, which is also very tasty.
