Amaretto Hazelnut Piña Colada

No ratings yet

Amaretto Hazelnut Piña Colada is a refined interpretation of the tropical classic, combining white rum with a subtle touch of Malibu, smooth amaretto and delicate hazelnut. The result is a lighter, more elegant Piña Colada where the coconut gently supports the cocktail rather than dominating it.

Fresh pineapple provides the tropical heart, while the amaretto and hazelnut add warmth and depth, creating a beautifully balanced cocktail that's both refreshing and surprisingly sophisticated.

For a richer coconut profile, increase the Malibu slightly. For a lighter tropical style, keep the coconut subtle and allow the pineapple, amaretto and hazelnut to take centre stage.

Notities

Inspired by Difford’s Almond Piña Colada, this version was developed using ingredients commonly found in our own home bar. Instead of almond syrup, Monin Sugar Free Hazelnut Syrup was chosen, adding a slightly warmer and fuller nutty character that pairs beautifully with amaretto.

A small amount of Malibu Original Coconut Rum Liqueur was introduced to restore the gentle coconut note expected from a Piña Colada, while keeping the cocktail lighter and allowing the rum, pineapple and hazelnut to remain beautifully balanced.

The result is an elegant tropical variation that stays true to the spirit of a Piña Colada while offering a distinctive character of its own.
