Amaretto CruiseCocktail recipe
Rating
The Amaretto Cruise is a delectable and indulgent cocktail that is perfect for those who enjoy fruity and creamy flavors with a hint of nuttiness. This beverage marries the sweet, aromatic notes of amaretto—a rich, almond-flavored liqueur—with the tartness of cranberry juice and the citrusy sweetness of orange juice.
Peach schnapps adds a layer of succulent stone fruit taste, while the white rum provides a smooth, subtle kick. The addition of cream gives the Amaretto Cruise a luxurious texture, and the sour mix balances the sweetness with a pleasant tang.
It's typically served in a cocktail glass, showcasing its vibrant and inviting appearance, making it an appealing choice for a summery refreshment or as a dessert-like treat for any occasion.

Cocktail Colin says:
The Amaretto Cruise skillfully blends the creamy, nutty flavors of amaretto with a vibrant splash of citrus and berry from the orange and cranberry juices. The addition of peach schnapps enhances the fruity profile, making this drink a decadently sweet treat with a complex, layered palate, where the creamy texture and zesty sour mix create a delightful contrast that's further enriched by the subtle warmth of white rum.
