Amaretto is an Italian almond flavored liqueur or cordial that is easy to make at home. Put it in a pretty bottle and give it as a gift. Stock it in your liquor cabinet for addition to mixed drinks. Or, my personal favorite, pour a little over vanilla ice cream with some shaved chocolate for a simple and elegant dessert.
We have had this recipe in the family for years thanks to a friend of my parents. Truthfully it is a tough call for me which I like better, this or the Homemade Kahlua.

Yum. I love amaretto, being in general a nut (okay, no pun intended, plus I could just stop that thought right there and have told the truth) for all things almond. Pinned! Thanks as always for so graciously hosting the fabulous #FridayFrivolity!
You crack me up, Elizabeth. 🙂
This sounds delicious. The only thing I like better that liquor is DIY liquor! Yay!
Ha ha!
