Description
Amaretto – Italian in origin, is a liqueur that offers a bitter-sweet almond flavor created using a base of either almond or apricot pits.
The name Amaretto derived from the Italian word amaro meaning bitter. It was given to describe the liqueur’s distinctive bitter flavor that has been enhanced and sweetened through the addition of sweeteners and/or sweet almonds.
Today amaretto is a staple in many bars and kitchens. Not only is it wonderful as an ingredient in drinks, it also works well in many recipes.
Desserts can benefit from the addition of amaretto. The flavor of chocolate is often complimented by amaretto. Adding the liqueur to a recipe containing almonds is also said to enhance the flavor of the nut.
Amaretto works well in savory dishes, especially those using chicken as the main meat ingredient. Punch up pancake batter by adding a bit of the liqueur.
