Ingredients
- 1 ounce (30 ml) of Amaretto
- 1 ounce (30 ml) of Cinnamon Whiskey (such as Goldschlager or Fireball)
- Cola (Coca - Cola works great), about 4 ounces (120 ml)
- Lime wheel for garnish
- Ice cubes
Steps
- Prepare the glass (0:00 - 0:10 minute): Start by filling a highball glass with ice cubes. The ice not only chills the cocktail but also dilutes it slightly as it melts, enhancing the overall taste experience.
- Pour the liqueurs (0:10 - 0:25 minutes): Using a jigger, measure out 1 ounce of Amaretto precisely and pour it gently over the ice in the glass. Then, measure 1 ounce of cinnamon whiskey and add it to the glass. The combination of these two liqueurs forms the base of the unique flavor profile of this cocktail.
- Add the cola (0:25 - 0:40 minutes): Slowly pour about 4 ounces of cola into the glass. You can adjust the amount of cola according to your personal taste preference. A bit more cola will make the drink milder, while less cola will intensify the flavors of the liqueurs.
- Garnish (0:40 - 1:00 minute): Cut a fresh lime into a wheel and place it elegantly on the rim of the glass. The lime wheel not only adds a touch of visual appeal but also provides a hint of citrus aroma that complements the other flavors in the cocktail.
Tips
- If you’re making this cocktail for a group, you can scale up the recipe and prepare a pitcher in advance. For a pitcher, combine 1/2 cup of Amaretto, 1/2 cup of cinnamon whiskey, and 3 cups of cola. Just remember to add ice to individual glasses right before serving to avoid over - diluting the cocktails.
- Experiment with different types of cola or even diet cola if you prefer a lower - calorie option. You can also try adding a splash of other flavored syrups, like vanilla or cherry, to create your own unique twist on this classic recipe.
