Ingredients for the Almond Joy Martini Recipe

These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this delicious almond joy cocktail. You should be able to find everything at your local liquor store.

Vodka

A decent vodka is all you need. You don’t need anything too expensive.

Coconut Rum

Malibu Rum is typically everyone’s go to coconut rum. If you have another brand that you prefer, that’s fine.

Amaretto

Amaretto liqueur will give this cocktail its almond flavor. It’s made with almond extract and is on the sweeter side. I like to use DiSaronno Amaretto.

Creme de Cacao

Creme de Cacao is a chocolate flavored liqueur that will give the cocktail the flavor profile of a chocolate covered almond.

Cream

You can use either light cream or half and half. If you prefer it on the lighter side, go with light cream. If you like it a little thicker, use the half & half.

Garnish

The garnishes I like to use for this cocktail are chocolate syrup and shredded coconut. They add a little flair and flavor to the drink!
