Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
Crushed ice
2 cups freshly brewed espresso, chilled
6 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
1 cup whole milk or whipping cream, chilled

Directions

Stir the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool the sugar syrup completely.

Fill 6 (8 to 12-ounce) glasses halfway with crushed ice. Pour the espresso over the ice, dividing equally. Pour 1 tablespoon of the sugar syrup and 1 tablespoon of amaretto into each glass. Stir to blend. Pour the milk into each and serve.

That's why they say when they drink this! Made my very first batch on Easter & the requests never stop! I tweaked the... recipe a bit. First off, the melted sugar addition, really not necessary. I'm telling you, the amaretto liqueur is really sweet! I also used hazel nut. A true crowd pleaser!Read more

The BEST ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved this drink and I'm a tough one to please when it comes to coffee! I drink this almost daily...minus the amaretto of... course! Try it with some vanilla syrup! YUM!Read more

Instead of using the sugar syrup, I leave out the sugar and water entirely and use sweetened condensed milk instead. Just... add the sweeteed condensed milk to taste. It's much easier and tastes just as good! A great recipe worth trying.Read more

Nice alternative to regular coffee
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I'm a fan of no frills, cafe con latte, but this is great for a special breakfast or after meal dessert. The only change I... made was adding "coffee cubes" or brewed coffee poured into an ice trey and frozen. The cubes start melting, and just add to the drink instead of diluting it!Read more

Yummy, Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great recipe. I love a good iced coffee drink, and this one is one of my favorites. I won't even buy flavored... syrup's anymore. I just add vanilla or almond extract to the simple syrup for my own spin on flavored syrup's. Also try kahula instead of the almond liqour.Read more
