Almond Cocktail with Rum and Santuario

We like to experiment with our Cold Drip coffees at the Batavia Headquarters. The combinations are endless and everyone has his own preferences. But we all unanimously agree that this almond cocktail is delicious! Dangerously tasty even! Of course, you could make a healthy mocktail, but adding rum creates the ultimate after dinner drink. It’s sweet and soft due to the almond milk but also spicy and complex due to the Santuario. Santuario is the ideal base for a classic ice coffee. You can also combine this coffee very well with soft ice cream or whipped cream. But more and more people seem to be longing for a healthier variant of  ice cream coffee . Adding almond milk (we personally are fans of the drinks from Rude Health) to our cold drip coffee makes for a delicious, healthy ice cream coffee. Our coffee does not contain any sugar. We think drinking healthy is very important, but enjoying a nice drink at the time is not wrong either! So if you’re curious about how to make this almond cocktail with rum and Santuario, then read on!

What do you need ?

  • Ice cubes
  • 250ml Santuario coffee
  • 60 ml almond milk from Rude Health
  • 30 ml brown rum from Havana Club

STEP 1 Fill your ice cube mold with Batavia Dutch Coffee and put it in the freezer.
