Description
These Amaretto Orange White Russians are a fun twist on a classic cocktail. Fresh orange and amaretto liqueur add warmth and sweet nuttiness to these cocktails. These are a true crowd pleaser!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (2-inch) orange peels
- 2 oz coffee liqueur (recommended: Kahlua)
- 1.5 oz amaretto liqueur (recommended: Disaronno)
- 2 dashes of angostura bitters (or any orange bitters)
- 3 oz vodka
- 2 oz heavy cream
- Orange peels
- Ice
Instructions
- Add the pieces of orange peel to a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon to gently smash the orange rind until it is fragrant.
- Fill the shaker with ice and add the kahlua, amaretto, bitters, and vodka. Shake vigorously for a few seconds to mix well and chill the ingredients. At this point, I like to taste the mixture and add additional kahlua or bitters (I strongly believe that cocktails should be a “to taste” situation).
- Strain the mixture between two rocks glasses filled with ice.
- Drizzle the heavy cream into each glass, dividing it evenly. Stir to combine the ingredients and serve immediately, garnished with additional orange peels.
