If ever there was a time that us Brits loved to sip on a cream liqueur, winter is it. So, let us turn your attention to Amarula, an exquisite cream liqueur hailing from South Africa, distilled with precision from ethically sourced Marula fruit.
Aged in French oak for two years before being blended with velvety smooth cream, this cream liqueur is unlike any other with delightful notes of sweet tropical guava, fig, and a hint of silky caramel. It’s absolutely divine on its own, however it makes a brilliant cocktail too. So, without further ado, let us introduce three simple yet stunning Amarula Cream Liqueur cocktails for you to try…
The Gingerbread Man
Ingredients:
50ml Amarula Cream
50ml gingerbread liqueur
25ml coffee
30ml coffee liqueur
It’s creamy, it’s indulgent and it’s quite frankly Christmas in a glass. What more could you ask for! Method: Simply pour all the ingredients into your cocktail shaker, add 6-8 ice cubes, shake rigorously for 10-15 seconds until the cocktail has cooled and double strain into a chilled coupe. Who said that perfection had to be complex?!
Apricot & Cream

65ml Amarula Cream
35ml brandy
25ml apricot liqueur
10ml sugar syrup
The tropical fruit notes in the Amarula mix beautifully with the apricot liqueur and brandy to make a gloriously decadent cocktail here. Method: Another very simple recipe, simply pour all the ingredients into a mixing glass, add 4-5 ice cubes, stir rigorously for 10-15 seconds and double strain into chilled coupe. If you’re feeling fancy you could also try garnish the cocktail with a sliced apricot skin on a toothpick! Cheers.

60ml Amarula Cream
25ml vodka
15ml cranberry liqueur
