What is Amaretto Liqueur?

Amaretto is an Italian liqueur, with a delicious almond flavour. It pairs very well with cream, ice cream and soda. Some prefer their amaretto served neat or with ice. Amaretto is found in every well stocked bar so it’s easy to find. You may have heard of Disaronno Originale Amaretto, it’s one of the most popular amaretto brands, it’s readily available at most liquor stores and it’s what we used in our Pink Amaretto and Cream.
