Midnight Amsterdam

@sipswithkilala Midnight Amsterdam ☕️🍸 King’s Day (in Netherlands) is almost here—but this one’s for the after party. 
Midnight Amsterdam blends rich espresso, amaretto, white crème de cacao, and genever for a bold, bittersweet sip with Dutch flair. It’s not orange, but it definitely knows how to party—especially with a stroopwafel on the side. 🇳🇱
(King’s Day is the Netherlands’ biggest celebration, honoring the king’s birthday with parades, parties, and a whole lot of orange.) I don’t know too much about King’s Day, but my fiancé’s Dutch—so consider this my caffeinated, cocktail-style nod to the occasion. .

Rich, bold, and irresistibly smooth, Midnight Amsterdam is a decadent fusion of espresso, amaretto, white crème de cacao, and genever. The deep nuttiness of amaretto, the velvety chocolate notes of crème de cacao, and the malty complexity of genever blend seamlessly with freshly brewed espresso. Served best with a classic stroopwafel on the side, this cocktail is perfect for a late-night indulgence—invigorating, comforting, and elegantly bittersweet.
