Cocktail Colin says:

5/5

The Amaretto Colada is a beautifully layered cocktail that ingeniously melds amaretto’s deep, almond-like sweetness with the vibrant zing of pineapple juice, creating a delightful contrast that dances on the palate. The addition of cream and coconut cream not only enriches its body, giving it a luxuriously silky texture, but also subtly balances the sweetness with a creamy, tropical base, enhanced by the warmth and slight spice of gold rum, rounding out what is ultimately a sumptuously indulgent, dessert-esque concoction perfect for savoring on a sultry evening.
