For Coffee Lovers
For the coffee lovers who are looking to mix that aromatic flavor with an after-dinner libation (or midday – we won’t judge), this Frozen Walnut Coffee Frappe is yours! This recipe balances the strong flavor of coffee with bourbon and walnut milk to create a blended beverage that tastes like a treat.
This Walnut Horchata Martini mixes coffee liqueur, vodka and walnut milk with cinnamon to obtain that horchata-esque flavor that will send you the comfort of autumn any time of the year.
Tropical Twist
You may still be getting the last dregs of winter out of your system, or maybe you’ve just been dreaming of a tropical vacation for months now. Either way, bring a little sunshine into your home by throwing together a Nutty Colada. Sweet coconut cream combines with tart pineapple, walnut milk and a hint of mint for an instant island vacation in a glass. Toasted walnuts help make this a perfectly creamy concoction.
If you still want a taste of a tropical vacation, but a cocktail isn’t for you, try out a Tropical Walnut Smoothie. Loaded up with fruits like mango and orange juice, this simple four-ingredient smoothie is quick to assemble and you can feel good about drinking it. Put your feet up and relax with either of these slushy drinks!
A Hint of Sophistication
If you’re looking to up your cocktail game with a classic option, try out a Walnut Boulevardier. This beverage has just three ingredients: walnut-infused bourbon, campari and vermouth. The bourbon is quick to make at home or buy in the store, and you’re set.
Whether shaken or stirred, nothing says elegance more than a martini.
