Amaretto Disaronno

A Little Bitter

Amaretto Disaronno is the world's most popular amaretto and a beacon of Italian liqueur craftsmanship.

Originating from Saronno, Italy, and tracing its history back to 1525, Disaronno embodies centuries-old traditions. The secret recipe, passed down through generations, combined with modern flair, results in a liqueur that's both timeless and contemporary. The iconic bottle, designed by Murano glass artisans in 1971, adds to its allure.

Renowned for its distinctive almond taste, this drink is a perfect blend of herbs, spices, and apricot kernel oil, offering a lush, caramelized almond-cookie flavor. The word amaretto means "a little bitter" in Italian.

While the recipe remains a secret, Amaretto Disaronno is made from apricot kernel oil. This is what gives the final product its signature almond flavour, even though there are no almonds used. The apricot kernel oil is mixed with burnt sugar, which gives the liqueur flavour and colour, as well as with alcohol and seventeen select herbs and fruit.

Amaretto Disaronno is a very smooth liqueur which gives off a beautiful aroma of almonds. Its slight bitterness is what makes it the perfect addition to mixed drinks. In fact, Disaronno can be found as an essential ingredient in more than 100 different cocktails.

Savor it neat, enjoy it on the rocks, or let it shine as a key ingredient in a creative new cocktail.
