Toasted Almond History
The Toasted Almond is believed to have originated in 1970s-80s America during the cream cocktail craze.
During this period, various dessert cocktails using amaretto and coffee liqueur (mainly Kahlúa) were popular, and the Toasted Almond was among them.
The name "Toasted" derives from how amaretto's nutty almond flavor resembles freshly toasted almonds. A similar cocktail using cream instead of milk is called "Roasted Toasted Almond."
