Almond Joy
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.78 / 5
Candy lovers will enjoy the Almond Joy, which mixes amaretto with coconut rum and crème de cacao for a drink that tastes like the candy bar. It's on Barmano's Top Drinks recipe list. Reviewers at Allrecipes.com noted that the Almond Joy is "to die for" and that "any coconut lover would enjoy" it. Give this version a try, which uses flavoured rum to give the drink its trademark coconut flavour.
