MILKLAB Nutcracker

This one's for the grown-ups. The Nutcracker is smooth, sophisticated, and dangerously easy to drink — think toasted almonds, warm spice, and that rich, silky feel that only comes from MILKLAB Almond.
MILKLAB Almond brings a natural nuttiness that doesn't just sit in the background — it works with the cognac and amaretto to create something that feels indulgent without being heavy. The chocolate bitters and tiny pinch of sea salt? They're the secret moves that make the almond flavor really sing.
Perfect for after dinner, late-night conversations, or any time you want something a little more elegant than your standard pour.
