Cocktails with rum and amaretto
Cocktail Colin says:
If you want a cocktail with rum and amaretto, the best matches here are Amaretto Sour, Amaretto Colada, and Amaretto Cruise. If you are trying to use rum and Amarula specifically, go for Pirate Milk.
It is worth flagging one thing: none of the recommended cocktails uses rum, Amarula, and amaretto together. The closest creamy, rum based option is Pirate Milk, which pairs dark rum with Amarula Cream for a short, dessert style drink.
For rum plus amaretto, you have a couple of solid directions depending on what you are in the mood for:
- Amaretto Sour: the most classic feeling choice, with a bright, balanced profile and a strong amaretto lead.
- Amaretto Colada: a bigger, tropical, creamy serve that still keeps rum in the mix alongside amaretto.
- Amaretto Cruise: a long, fruit forward option where white rum and amaretto sit under lots of juice and cream.
If you are mainly exploring Amarula drinks, Springbok is a simple, after dinner style shot, while Fantasy keeps things light and creamy.
