How Do You Make Nuts and Berry Drink? Here Is the Recipe and Ideas for Variations

Nuts and berry drink is a delicious, creamy cocktail that you can serve at a lunch party or enjoy after dinner in a warm summer evening. If you have never tried it before, find out the classic nuts and berry drink recipe and some variations that you can try.

What Is Nuts And Berries Drink Made Of?

Before trying the nuts and berries drink, make sure that you have the ingredients. The cocktail is super easy to prepare and you need only three ingredients – Frangelico, Chambord and half and half. The nutty flavor comes from the hazelnut liqueur (Frangelico) and the berry taste comes from the raspberry liqueur (Chambord). Cream adds a smooth touch to the final result.

Can You Substitute Frangelico and Chambord?

You can use any other brand of nutty or berry flavored liqueur. For example, you can use Amaretto which has almond flavor. Instead of Chambord, you can use blackberry liqueur or Creme de Cassis, which has black currants flavor. For a dairy free version of the nut and berries drink use oat milk, almond milk or other nut milk. Yes, when you substitute the original ingredients, the taste and flavor of the cocktail will be different, but nothing can stop you experiment and find a summer cocktail combination of your own.

How Strong Is the Nuts and Berries Drink?

The answer to this question is quite simple – it depends on you and your preferences. If you pour less dairy, the nuts and berry drink will be stronger and vice versa. Of course, generally, this is not a very strong drink. Having in mind that it contains two liqueurs, it can be described as a “mild cocktail”.
