Disaronno Originale Amaretto Liqueur

Disaronno Originale Amaretto Liqueur

In Saronno, Italy, an innkeeper made a special amber liqueur for a painter in 1600. Rediscovered centuries later, it became Disaronno Originale. This amaretto, originally bitter almonds, now uses fruit stones for its nutty flavor. It's a key cocktail ingredient, also enhancing desserts and savory dishes. Despite name changes and bottle redesigns, its recipe allegedly remains the same, blending apricot kernel oil, caramelized sugar, herbs, spices, and fruits for its unique bittersweet taste.
