Cocktails you can make with amaretto and rum

You can make an Amaretto Cruise or an Amaretto Colada if you want a cocktail that uses both amaretto and rum in the same drink.

Amaretto Cruise is the most direct match: it pairs white rum with amaretto, then leans into a long, fruity style with orange juice, cranberry juice, sour mix and cream. It is a great shout when you want something easy drinking and built for a bigger serve.

If you are after something creamier and more tropical, Amaretto Colada brings gold rum together with amaretto, plus pineapple juice, cream and coconut cream. The rum gives it backbone, while amaretto adds a sweet almond note.

If you have amaretto but are short on rum, these are handy alternatives that still suit the same sweet sour direction:

Amaretto Sour for a classic shaken serve with lemon and bitters
Amaretto Stone Sour for a fruitier, orange-led twist
Amaretto And Coke for a quick, no-fuss highball

If you tell me whether you are using white, gold, or dark rum, I can point you to the best fit from these options.
