5 Disaronno Autumn-Themed Cocktails

Disaronno, one of my important liqueur bottles in the cupboard, gets the spotlight in this post. I like using it in preparing desserts or mixing with cocktails. Remember the Chinotto and Disaronno Cocktail that I created after the food & wine press tour I went to? I came home with a fresh mind full of vibrant ideas in creating new flavors. I loved that drink! It's so refreshing. 

Since this post is about summer to autumn transitional flavors to guide our palettes, you will enjoy every single cocktail recipe here. I came up with a rich, dark chocolate cocktail drink simply mixed with the almond-flavor of Disaronno and it was spectacular! Then there are these amazing dessert cocktail drinks of tiramisù, egg nog, apple cobbler and Disaronno smash, all created by the people behind Disaronno itself to give us ideas on how to enjoy the amaretto liqueur more. Just the smell will make you want to eat what you are drinking. That's what's special about Disaronno. Its almond scent is a distressing perfume to our senses. Why distressing? Because it's hard to put it down and stop smelling and tasting!

So let's hit autumn with these five cocktail drinks to try. If we have autumn food, we can also have the seasonal cocktails to welcome the new season! You'll love them!
