The Secret to Homemade Amaretto

My homemade amaretto recipe utilizes mahlab instead of almonds. Like many spices and seasonings mahlab contains amygdalin - don’t worry, you’d have to consume a lot to have experience any effects but wanted to do my due diligence in just reiterating what I say in the video: do not consume mahlab raw just to be safe (as always do your research and proceed with caution) and be sure to roast them above 300F for 10 minutes or longer.

This amaretto uses all natural ingredients with no food coloring. It will mellow in taste and color over time and may have sediment at the bottom. See my video below for using wine fining agents if you want to clarify your amaretto or other homemade liqueurs.

Following this recipe Amaretto has rich, almond-nut taste with notes of coffee and vanilla. Delicious liqueur!

We'll explore 5 cocktails using this famous Amaretto including Marlon Brando's favorite drink The Godfather, Amaretto Sour, The New Day, The Apricot French Connection, and The Amaretto Revolver. Links at the bottom for recipes

Amaretto literally translates to a little bitter but Disaranno is not made from almonds, which most of us believe. It's made from apricots but delivers that almond flavor that we're used to.

How To Make Home Made Amaretto: Two Versions Blind Taste Tested Against Disaronno

Time for something a little sweeter. This week we are making Amaretto, in fact, we are making two different versions of Ameretto.
These turned out a WHOLE lot better than I thought they would. But I wanted to blind taste them against Disaronno anyway and see how they faired.
--------------------------
Recipe One
Make a syrup from:
1 cup of water
1 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar

Let it cool and add too:
2 cups of vodka
2 tablespoon of almond essence
2 teaspoons of vanilla essence

Bottle it!
-------------------

Recipe Two (my version):

Macerate the following for 2-4 days:
1 1/2 tart apricots. tinned is fine if they are not cooked. Fresh would be better.
50 grams or sliced almonds
2 cups of 50% neutral spirit

Make a syrup from:
1 cup of water
1 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
Let the syrup cool

Add the syrup to the maceration and add:
2 Table Spoons of Almond essence
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (with seeds in)

Let macerate for another 2-4 days

strain and add lemon or lime juice to taste. It should be imperceptible but used to add a little freshness and balance out the sugar. I used 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon.

Strain and bottle. Then enjoy!

Greek Recipe for Amaretto, Apricot liqueur - Βερίκοκο Λικερ

Amaretto liqueur is a sweet liqueur that originated in Saronno, Italy. Depending on the brand, it may be made from apricot kernels or bitter almonds.
Relatives told me that my mom would make this liqueur, but I just don't recall this.
I hope you enjoy this video.
