Amaretto Di Saronno Recipe

Prepare the Almond Base

In a food processor, combine the blanched almonds with vodka. Pulse until the almonds are finely ground and fully combined with the vodka, creating a smooth mixture.

Infuse the Mixture

Transfer the almond and vodka mixture into a large glass jar with a tight-sealing lid. Add the vanilla bean (split lengthwise), cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange zest to the jar.

Seal and Store

Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. Let the mixture infuse for at least 2 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days to mix the ingredients.

Strain the Mixture

After 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the solids (almonds and spices).

Add Simple Syrup

Mix the strained liqueur with simple syrup in a large bowl or pitcher. Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more syrup if desired.

Bottle the Liqueur

Pour the final mixture into clean bottles, seal them with caps or corks, and store them in the refrigerator or a cool place.
