so I'm not sure. Do you buy it from a liquor store?
Amaretto is the most popular nut liqueur on the market. It is flavored with apricot-nut-meats, which have an almond-like flavor.
YOU CAN EVEN MAKE YOUR OWN!! HOW COOL IS THAT.
1 cup granulated sugar
6 drops red food coloring
3/4 cup water
2 drops blue food coloring
2 apricot dried halves
1/2 tsp glycerine
1 tbsp almond extract
1/2 cup grain alcohol
1/2 cup water
1 cup brandy
3 drops yellow food coloring
Combine sugar and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer until all sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool. In an aging container, combine apricot halves, almond extract, grain alcohol with 1/2 cup water, and brandy. Stir in cooled sugar syrup mixture.
Cap and let age for 2 days.
Remove apricot halves. (Save apricot halves, can be used for cooking). Add food coloring and glycerine. Stir, recap and continue aging for 1 to 2 months. Re-bottle as desired.
Liqueur is ready to serve but will continue to improve with additional aging.
Hey alfie! that was my next question! does anyone make an alchol free one and how? Can you give me the measurement? Pretty please. thanks
I'm not sure about that (alcohol-free brand) but another alternative you can use are the flavored coffee syrups that they use in coffee shops. The amaretto recipe I gave was a solution if you are in a last-minute pinch otherwise I use the flavored coffee syrups to brush onto the cake as a simple syrup flavoring all of the time with no problems.
