Perky Little Nut

We had this shot one morning at a little coffee shop in Denver called Amante Coffee. The shot on their menu had Amaretto and was called The Shottino, but we substituted Frangelico.

1 part Frangelico

1 part Espresso

Top with heavy cream, very lightly whipped

Layer the ingredients in a tall shot glass. To keep the layers from mixing pour the espresso and cream slowly over the back of a spoon.

Now, drink your shot with a straw so you finish with the cream. Yummy, right?!?!

You can have a lot of fun with this.

Change up the liquor – try Amaretto, Baileys, Kahlua or flavored vodkas like vanilla or whip cream.

Make a Nutty Affogato – vanilla ice cream with frangelico and espresso.

Substitute coconut milk for the heavy cream, if you don’t drink dairy.

Cheers!
