Amaretto Cocktails

The rise of amaretto cocktails began in the 1980s. At that time, Amaretto developed into one of the most popular liqueurs alongside cream liqueurs and coconut liqueurs. Today, the spirit is still so popular and can be ordered in more and more cocktail bars and restaurants. The liqueur can be enjoyed pure, on ice, but also makes an excellent addition to Amaretto cocktails.

There are various delicious recipes that are prepared with the almond liqueur. The liqueur tastes similar to almonds, with a hint of marzipan. The sweetish notes are pleasantly underlined by the mildly alcoholic taste. This is why cocktails with amaretto are usually much sweeter than, for example, aniseed cocktails, cognac cocktails, port wine cocktails or sparkling wine cocktails. If you don’t like sweet cocktails, you should try mixed drinks with gin, whisky, tequila, vodka or rum.
