Homemade Amaretto is an Easy to Make Gift

April 19, 2017 Filed Under: Drinks, Featured

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.

My mom usually made it with her homemade apricot liqueur. Apricots and almonds are closely related so it isn’t that surprising that it is apricot is used to help flavor an almond cordial.

You can store it back in the vodka bottle or use decorative bottles for gift giving.

    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!
