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

How to make this fresh ice coffee?
Step 1: Place the almond milk, the Santuario, the ice cubes and cinnamon in the blender. If you use roasted almond milk the taste will be a bit sharper. If you want a bit more of a sweet taste, you should use regular almond milk.

Almond and Banana Smoothie with Limu
Feel like having a banana smoothie full of vitamins? Try this banana smoothie with almond and our Limu, giving you a nice energy boost. It’s a quick and easy to make recipe, a real wake-up call. Limu coffee has a traditional coffee taste, characterized by pure chocolate and caramel flavors. Additionally, a hint of spices and flowers is noticeable. The smoothie tastes best when frozen bananas are used. So, keep this in mind if the bananas still need to be frozen beforehand. Almond paste is available in bio-shops or the bigger supermarkets. If you don’t find the smoothie sweet enough, honey can be added. Without further ado, this is how you can make an Almond and banana smoothie with Batavia’s Limu Coffee at home! A special thanks to culinea.nl for the recipe.
What do you need?
- 250ml Batavia Limu Coffee
- 2 frozen bananas
- 300ml almond milk or chocolate almond milk
- 2 ts almond paste
- 3 ts oatmeal
- 1 bag of vanilla sugar
- honey (if necessary)
How to make an almond and banana smoothie with Limu?
Step 1: Slice the banana in pieces. Place the banana pieces, almond milk, almond paste, oatmeal and vanilla sugar in a blender and mix. If non-frozen bananas are used, add ice cubes to the mixture.
Step 2: For extra sweetness, add honey. If you really have a sweet tooth, use almond milk with chocolate flavor. The smoothie is best served as cold as possible. A quick tip is to place your glass in the refrigerator before serving, so the smoothie can be drunk from a cold glass. Are you feeling like being creative? Then try to make the almond paste yourself. Chop 200gr of almonds in a food processor, add 1ts of salt and 50ml of sunflower oil. Blend all ingredients into a smooth paste. You can find this recipe and more delicious recipes on culinea.nl
