Does amaretto contain vodka?

Amaretto is an Italian liqueur that is typically made with a base of vodka. However, some brands may use a different type of alcohol as the base, such as brandy or rum. The flavor of amaretto is often described as being sweet and nutty, and it is commonly used in cocktails or as a dessert topping.

While the ingredients in amaretto can vary depending on the brand, most recipes call for a combination of white and brown sugar to sweeten the drink. Some brands may also add other flavors to their amarettos, such as almond extract or vanilla extract.

How is amaretto made?

Amaretto is a sweet Italian liqueur that originated in Saronno. Depending on the brand, it may be made from apricot kernels, bitter almonds, peach stones, or almonds, all of which are natural sources of the benzaldehyde that provides the almond-like flavour of the liqueur.

The exact recipe for amaretto is a closely guarded secret among producers, but we do know that it involves infusing these natural ingredients in alcohol to extract their flavour. Once this infusion is complete, the mixture is then diluted with water and sweetened with sugar before being bottled.

Amaretto has a long history dating back to the Renaissance era when Saronno was under the rule of noble families like the Visconti and Sforza families. It’s said that one of these families commissioned an artist to create a painting depicting their coat of arms, which included two dolphins swimming around an amphora (a type of vase). The artist used crushed apricot kernels in his paint to give it a unique texture, and after seeing how beautiful the finished painting looked, they decided to use this same process to create a liqueur infused with flavours from these apricot kernels.

Thus, amaretto was born! Over time different variations on this original recipe have been created using different types of nuts and fruits as well as different methods of extraction and dilution. But at its core, amaretto is still a delicious almond-flavoured liqueur that can be enjoyed on its own or used in cocktails for a truly unique drink experience.
