What is Amaretto liqueur?
Amaretto liqueur is an Italian sweet liqueur known for its almond-like aroma. Depending on the recipe, that distinctive flavour may come from almonds or apricot kernels; sugar and alcohol give it a rounded, sweet finish. Its aroma is pronounced, so it is usually poured in modest measures and works well as an ingredient as well as a drink.
In Italy it is often enjoyed after a meal, while elsewhere it is also mixed into cocktails, coffee or desserts. You can sip it neat or over ice, or add a little to cake batter or ice cream. It is high in both sugar and alcohol, so it is not a light choice; dilute it with soda or use a smaller splash in recipes for a less sweet result.
