Amaretto is an amber, sweet almond-flavored liqueur. It tastes of marzipan with a soft, rounded sweetness and a faint bitter-almond finish; its syrupy body blends smoothly and perfumes drinks and desserts. Common uses include classic sours, coffee drinks, soaking cakes, and adding depth to dessert sauces and glazes.
It originated in Italy, particularly associated with Saronno in Lombardy, and spread globally in the 20th century. Producers typically infuse apricot kernels, bitter almonds, or peach pits in neutral spirits with sugar, then age and blend to balance aroma and sweetness.
