Step
Method 1 of 4: Sipping Amarula with Ice
Step 1. Put 3-4 ice cubes into a rocks glass
Fill a rocks glass with 3-4 large ice cubes. If you are using small ice cubes, fill the glass until it is halfway up.
The ice will keep the Amarula cold so it tastes fresh and delicious
Step 2. Pour the Amarula until it fills half the glass
Pour the Amarula over the ice cubes. You don't need to pour until the glass is full.
Step 3. Sip the drink
Drink Amarula slowly to enjoy its creamy and sour taste. After it runs out, you can refill the glass.
As the chunks of ice begin to melt, the Amarula will turn slightly liquid
Method 2 of 4: Drinking Amarula with Coffee
Step 1. Pour the coffee into a large mug
Brew a cup of coffee with a drip machine, French press, or other tool. Then, pour 200-250 ml of coffee into the mug until it is full. Thus, there is more room to add other ingredients.
- You can also buy freshly brewed hot or cold coffee from the coffee shop.
- If you want to mix cold Amarula with coffee, let the coffee cool before adding 3-4 ice cubes to the mug.
- If you are using a smaller mug, reduce the amount of coffee.
Step 2. Add 1-2 sips of Amarula Cream liquor to the coffee, then stir
Slowly pour the Amarula Cream into a sip or small glass. Then, pour the drink into a mug of coffee. Mix all ingredients with a spoon until smooth.
- If you want a stronger Amarula taste, add 2 sips of the drink. If you want a more balanced coffee taste, just add 1 sip.
- Adding too much Amarula can make the taste of the drink too strong.
Step 3. Spray whipped cream over the drink
Press the button on the top of the whipped cream can to squirt the cream over the coffee. The whipped cream will complement the creaminess of the Amarula and make it even sweeter.
- Add cream according to your taste.
- Fat-free whipped cream is not as savory as regular whipped cream.
Step 4. Sprinkle brown sugar and a few marshmallows over the whipped cream
Add 2 grams of brown sugar and 4-8 marshmallows to the top of the drink to make it sweeter. The sweetness of the sugar balances the bitterness of the coffee and the creamy taste of Amarula.
If you don't like coffee drinks that are too sweet, there's no need to add marshmallows
Step 5. Finish making the drink by adding hot cocoa powder and serve
Cocoa powder can add richness to the taste of the drink. Wait for the drink to cool before serving so that your tongue is not burned by the still hot coffee.
Method 3 of 4: Making Sour Amarula Cocktail or Coconut Water Cocktail
Step 1. Put 70 grams of crushed ice into a cocktail shaker
Buy crushed ice or make your own by grinding ice cubes in a blender. Melted ice will add a delicious creamy taste to the drink.
If you don't have a cocktail shaker, place an ice cube in a tall glass
Step 2. Pour 1 sip of Amarula and 1 sip of coconut water into a shaker
Carefully measure the amount of Amarula and coconut water with a sip or small glass to make it fit. If you want to make a cocktail that tastes sour, replace coconut water with a sip of Triple Sec.
- You can also substitute coconut water for gin if you want to make a martini.
- If you want a stronger cocktail, add 2 sips of Amarula to the drink.
Step 3. Shake the drink to mix all the ingredients
Shake vigorously to mix everything and make the ice in it melt a little. This will allow the Amarula to mix with the ice flakes.
If you don't have a cocktail shaker, place another glass over the glass containing the Amarula, creating a closed space. After that, hold the two glasses and shake until the drinks in it are mixed
Step 4. Pour the drink into a martini glass to enjoy
You don't need to strain it as it tastes great with ice. If you use Triple Sec instead of coconut water, decorate the drink with orange zest to make it more complete.
Method 4 of 4: Making Amarula Whisk
Step 1. Put 3-4 scoops of vanilla ice cream and 240 ml of milk in a blender
You can use any brand of vanilla ice cream. Pour the milk into the measuring cup so that the amount is just right. After that, pour the milk over the ice cream.
If you don't have an ice cream scoop, use a large one
Step 2. Pour 1-2 sips of Amarula into the drink, then stir
Measure the amount of Amarula with a sip or small glass. After that, pour it into the blender and turn it on on a high speed setting. Keep stirring the drink until the ice cream is completely incorporated into the ice cubes and the drink is smooth.
Step 3. Pour the drink into a glass, then decorate. If you want to add sweetness, sprinkle whipped cream or pour chocolate syrup over the drink
Remember, ice cream and Amarula are both sweet. So, adding sugar will make it sweeter. Enjoy the drink while it is still cold.
