Upgrade Your Coffee With Amarula

As the temperature drops, and we bundle up and get cozy indoors, elevating even the simplest of rituals can make all the difference this holiday season.

Although we may not be entertaining the way we have in years previous, we can still treat ourselves by spicing up the little things. Whether living alone or with a small circle or family under the same roof, something as simple as your morning routine cup of coffee can be turned into a luxurious and cozy moment with the right twist.

Coffee meet Amarula.

Amarula is made from the fruit of the sacred Marula tree that grows wild and uncultivated in the subequatorial regions of Africa. Handpicked by local communities, naturally fermented and distilled in copper pot stills, the spirit is matured for 2 years in aged oak barrels, which imparts the wood spice characteristics of vanilla and caramel naturally enhanced by the addition of cream, to create a rich and velvety smooth taste. Each bottle is a piece of Africa, made to be savoured.

With hosting duties by the wayside, why not create a unique and luxurious experience for yourself and those you love. You can add a simple splash of Amarula to your hoe-hum morning cup of coffee. Or if you’re feeling a little more adventurous, why not let your taste buds take you away with this mouthwatering recipe. 

Amarula Espresso Martini

Ingredients:

1 oz Espresso

1 oz Amarula

1 oz Bourbon

0.5 oz of Simple Syrup

Glassware Suggestions:

Chilled Martini or Coupe Glass

How to make it:

Add Bourbon, espresso & simple syrup to your shaker and shake vigorously until well chilled.

Strain into a chilled martini glass and set aside. Fill a mason jar or your cocktail shaker half full with Amarula Cream Liqueur and shake until thick and frothy.

Float shaken Amarula over mixed cocktail, garnish with 3 coffee beans, and a cinnamon stick.

If you’re looking for something just as sweet but a little more low maintenance, why not top off your friday night ice cream bowl with a drizzle of the caramel and vanilla noted Amarula? Or if cake and confectioneries are more your speed, top off your favorite dessert, or sip an Amarula on the rocks while you snuggle up indoors.

Many of us will be celebrating within our own homes this holiday season, but luxury gift giving never goes out of style. Sending a bottle of Amarula to your nearest and dearest so they too can elevate their regular cup of coffee into a cozy, pleasure filled experience, checks all of the gift giving boxes. 

Whether it’s a glass of Amarula on the rocks, or a smooth drizzle over your weekend bowl of ice cream, spicing up your routine and taking even the simplest of rituals to the next, luxurious level make Amarula the star of this holiday season.
