Type
Liqueurs, nut or bean-flavored
Description
Generic for Italian almond flavored liqueur, now produced internationally. Notable brand example: Amaretto Di Saronno (which has now largely dropped the "amaretto" from its name, much as Cointreau dropped the term "triple sec" from its label 90 years ago - and for the same reason: too many competitors making amarettos and devaluing the liqueur Di Saronno made famous.)
Flavor
almond and
peach pits
