Flavoring Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Almonds

Start by finely grinding the almonds using a food processor or a spice grinder until they reach a powdery consistency.

2

Combine with Alcohol

In a large glass jar, combine the ground almonds with the neutral grain alcohol. Seal the jar tightly and shake well to mix.

3

Infuse the Mixture

Store the jar in a cool, dark place for about 2 weeks, shaking it gently every few days to ensure the flavors meld.

Making the Syrup

4

Prepare the Sugar Syrup

In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved. Do not let it boil.

5

Add Flavoring Ingredients

Once the sugar has dissolved, add the vanilla bean (split open), cinnamon stick, cloves, and lemon zest. Stir gently and allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes.

6

Cool the Syrup

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup to remove the spices and zest.

Final Assembly

7

Combine Infused Alcohol and Syrup

After the infusion period is over, strain the almond mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the almond solids. Combine this infused alcohol with the cooled syrup in a clean bottle.

8

Bottle and Age

Seal the bottle tightly and let the liqueur age for at least another month to develop the flavors further. Store in a cool, dark place.

9

Serve

After aging, serve Amaretto di Saronno over ice or as a delightful addition to cocktails or desserts.
