Amaretto Colada

Day 160

Amaretto Colada

4 shots out of 5

Did you know that April 19th is National Amaretto Day??  What better way to celebrate then with an Amaretto Colada??

It's hot.  


It's Tuesday.  


The little one had a set of immunizations yesterday........and she's cranky.  

So is mom.  

That must mean it's time for tonight's cocktail!  No, it definitely means that!!

I gave tonight's cocktail 4 shots out of 5.  

I have had this one pinned on my Pinterest board for quite some time now.  

Tonight was the night to make it!  My pin led me here.  


I blended up this cocktail and had everything except for the whipping cream so I substituted it with the closest thing I had, milk.  

I can absolutely taste the amaretto the most in this cocktail (hence the name).  


It's a little overpowering in some sips......then in other sips it gets a little better and I taste more of the cream of coconut.  Regardless, this is a pretty enjoyable cocktail.

Here is a photo of the end result:

I absolutely do enjoy blended cocktail on warm nights.....or sort of warm nights.......even cold ones will do!
