Easy Homemade Amaretto | DISARONNO

[@31platinum]

I absolutely love this channel! As the former ed of FOOD&WINE magazine (Ireland) it is such a pleasure to watch somebody with a real depth of knowledge who also wears it lightly. Homemade drinks are such a clever idea in cash-strapped times and everybody loves them as a gift ... if I haven't drunk them first. BTW Re measurements: I know from bitter experience what a mine field this is. Imperial as used in the US is not the same as Imperial in the UK and in fact tablespoons and teaspoons are different too and then they are also different from an Australian cup and, I believe a Canadian cup. Unfortunately Google doesn't always get this right. (I think you know where this is going ...) so this is why Ireland and Europe converted to metric as it is a universal measurement. Now, where did I leave my pint ...? Sláinte from Dublin!

[@SavidgeKitchen]

I am genuinely so flattered! Thank you so much for tuning in, and for the lovely comment! I wish the US would switch to metric- there’s a hilarious recent SNL skit about how our measurements are such a mess. Maybe I need to get a hold of some measuring spoons/cups from the UK, Canada & Australia and show the differences between all in a video. 🤔 I love a good show & tell!! Sláinte! 🥃

[@michelesantucci5424]

Love your input. I just found this gal and subscribed. I also love Tasting History.

[@gutschke]

@@SavidgeKitchen it's not just that customary units are different from imperial, but also the fact that they use a small number of common fractions instead of decimals. This is very limiting when trying to precisely reproduce a recipe or when designing a new recipe from scratch. For argument's sake, let's say you wanted to add 12% more almond extract, as you feel that's really the sweet spot; or you wanted to adjust total combined volume to perfectly match the size of your bottle, then this is extremely awkward to do with spoons and ounces. Similarly, if by the time you are done perfecting the flavor, you then wanted to adjust the alcohol contents, this is much easier to do with fine-grained units of measurements that can be multiplied/divided arbitrarily instead of trying to stick to the constraints of multiples of teaspoons. With ml or grams, this is trivial to do and just takes some middle school math. If you are only used to American-style recipes, it admittedly takes a little getting used to calculating in metric and decimals. But it makes such a huge difference when developing recipes. Quite frequently, you'll know common ratios of ingredients, and you can simply plug those into your first draft of a recipe. A little bit of pen & paper calculation can often get you quite close to where you want to be with your recipe. And then you refine it by running a couple of trials. This works for all sorts of recipes: cooking, baking, or in this case liquor & cocktails. Of course, there also are recipes where quantities barely matter. And in that case, you should just use what feels more comfortable and familiar. For everything else, get a kitchen scale and measure by weight. It's the most expedient way to quickly and precisely keep track of varying quantities.

[@sherylretzlaff5860]

Just found your channel by accident, and am I a happy girl! 🤩 I'm at the end stage of a VERY complicated recipe for amaretto that I started mid December. Just finding all the ingredients took a week! And making 1/4 tsp of the cherry pit seed was an excruciating experience 😱. Told my husband if this isn't the nectar of the gods I would NEVER do this again! THANK YOU for this video!!! 🥳 Knowing there's an easier way is awesome 🥳

[@SavidgeKitchen]

Welcome! Happy to have you :) There’s definitely value in the more complex recipes, but it’s good to have quick easy options that are also high quality! I don’t want to go (more) gray waiting for a drink 😂🥃

[@greghanes5808]

My favorite amaretto recipes. Is a ruby slipper which is just amaretto and cranberry juice. And an amaretto milkshake which is high quality vanilla ice cream and amaretto blended. Simple and absolutely delicious

[@SavidgeKitchen]

Wow- I’ve never thought to pair amaretto and cranberry, and definitely want to try it! Thanks for the tip!! 🥃

[@RockinLocks4u]

This is the first time I've watched your channel and, oh man, the ideas it gives me....years ago, I became enamored with and fell in love with a flavored tequila called " Dirty Tequila", then it became next to impossible to obtain in my area...after watching this channel, I realized that it would be possible to make a homemade version...the way it's described is: 100% blue agave silver tequila infused with pineapple and a little cherry, almond, vanilla, a hint of cinnamon & slightly sweetened with agave nectar...thank you so much for the inspiration!!!

[@missred586799]

What a fun video!! Sometimes I soak dried cherries in the amaretto to get a great cherry almond flavor. I strain the cherries out and chop finely for cookie filling, to spread on biscuits or buttered toast. To add a bit more interesting flavor to the cherries, I add a little dark chocolate vinegar, to taste.

[@SavidgeKitchen]

What a wonderful idea! Thank you for sharing! 🍒

[@jackmartin8715]

before I knew that amaretto was almond flavored, i thought it was cherry flavored. it still tastes like cherries to me

[@garycupp2249]

I used all the same measurements on the sugars and water and extracts as you, I used 1 and 1/2 cups vodka and 1/2 cup E&J brandy for the liquor. Best amaretto I have ever had, so nice of a sipper on this cold winter night! Thank you!

[@SavidgeKitchen]

Equal parts whisky and amaretto is a Godfather. Very tasty.

[@jp6993]

Love it over ice cream!

[@Sourpusscandy]

In college, I was on a liqueur bender, was making all the flavors out of a cook book. My base was 1-part water, 2-parts sugar, 3-parts vodka and flavoring. I made kahlua, amaretto, creme’ de menthe, and more. So easy! So fun!

[@Sourpusscandy]

Fry a banana in butter, add amaretto, flame it if you like, spoon over your favorite vanilla ice cream! “Lazy-man’s banana foster”

[@jeffpowanda8821]

I'd go with 1-part water (or coffee), 1-part sugar, 1-part liquor (bourbon), and flavoring. 2-parts sugar is too sweet, and 3-parts liquor is too strong for me.

[@Sourpusscandy]

@@jeffpowanda8821 it is easily adjustable!

[@leeway3739]

[@peterdoe2617]

I just instantly subscribed. Amazing explanations! German guy here, just starting. I have 5 batches of liqueur, made with green walnuts. Talking simple sirup: while the 1:1 ratio is easy peasy, I find the 2 sugar: 1 water ratio difficult to handle, as soon as it is cooled to room temp. It should be mixed in immediately. Fun twist: one recipe calls for a simple sirup 1:1 ratio with white wine! I like to use vanilla beans. But the prices for one do vary from 1,50€ to 6,50€. I once wanted to buy one in the US. The store-manager proudly offered me one for 10$. Uuugh. (I had friends from Germany send one to me, plus some Marabou chocolate for my mousse au chocolate 🙂 Just so you folks know what to bring, when visiting the US LOL Current price for a 100g bar of Ritter Sport that is 1,49€ or 1,69€ in Germany is 5,50$ in Lawrence, KS. Greetings from the far north of Germany!

[@SavidgeKitchen]

That sounds like a version of Nocino, which is something I’ve been wanting to do! Green walnuts are very hard to find here, and the season for them is very short. I’ve got my eye on doing it this summer! Thanks for tuning in! Cheers :)

[@ronsandahl274]

Something that I discovered (as someone who does their own copycat liqueurs) that DOUBLED the quality of my end product was to work with my vodka first. What I do is to find the best cheap vodka that I can, almost always in a 1.75 litre bottle, and I pass it three times through a Britta filter. This is the same type of charcoal filtering that most vodka places do, but that is a quick process. After three times through the filter even the cheapest Popov vodka tastes like Grey Goose. Note one: MAKE SURE you set aside a special filter just for your booze, otherwise you end up with 5 proof water. Note two: While this dramatically improves cheap vodka, you can't really use this with other booze. The reason is that the filter takes away the flavors that make bourbon taste like bourbon, or gin taste like gin. Note three: I have had great luck using this method to make a great potato-style vodka by doing the process described here, then after the final filtering adding 1/2 teaspoon of instant mashed potato flakes and letting it sit for 24 hour. After that I just pass it through a coffee filter.

[@elumbra]

Amore is the amoretto that we buy the most when in the US. While in Japan could only get Disaronno for an inflated price so started making a very similar recipe to this. I found that white rum gives a more similar flavor to what we were used to. Never used cinnamon though. Will have to try that.

[@lattedough]

I made your Irish Cream Recipe and it was delicious! Thank you! Can't wait to try this. I appreciate the extra info about the different spirits. I like Fireball so wouldn't mind a recipe for that but don't gag yourself!

[@SavidgeKitchen]

I like the idea of fireball- cinnamon + whiskey should be delicious! I just don’t like the brand Fireball- to me, it’s like red hots soaked in diesel (which is shockingly similar to a lot of the homemade recipes out there 😂) I think I’ll work on this and see if I can come up with something a little better for us all to enjoy ;) 🥃🔥

[@dank1292]

I have never had Fireball, but it is so popular here in Maine our ex-governor got a redemption fee added to the "nip" sized bottles, because he saw them on the ground everywhere he went. Some people here are pigs (throwing litter on the ground), Anyway, never had the original but would like an upscale version as my "entry" into cinnamon whiskey so a homemade recipe I would try. My motto: cinnamon belongs in a pie, then you can drink your whiskey afterward. I love your content and share many of your sentiments and laugh out loud quite often at your sense of humor.

Almonds we eat are Sweet Almonds, the almond flavoring for baking or other uses is from bitter almond which is derived from other fruits in the same family as almonds, namely the stone fruits like peaches and cherries but it is the seed within the hard pit, or stone where they get the flavor of bitter almond.

Great video. Very informative and entertaining. If you want to avoid the Fireball, you might allow the cinnamon to macerate in the vodka for a few days to a week rather than in the simple syrup for a few hours. It will have a hot bite.And sure, it's not instant... but ...

[@PriWichi82]

Hi...Is my first time watching your channel by accident and i like it... Just one thing...Can i use other replacement for sugar?? Like Silan!!!

[@SavidgeKitchen]

Thanks for watching!!! So the answer is: it depends. You’re making a syrup, and although you can use alternative sugars (allulose, xylitol, monk fruit, etc) many of them have a tendency to recrystallize after a day or two. Adding xanthan gum will help to stabilize the syrup, but isn’t always effective and sometimes just delays the inevitable. I’m not personally familiar with Silan, but it’s worth a try! Also, if you intend to consume it within a day or two, things shouldn’t have time to recrystallize. Hope this helps!!

I love these liqueur recipes so much! I live in North Carolina and our Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission refuses to even think about stocking anything that isn't mainstream popular. The only way for me to get my hands on something like Creme de Violette is to drive over the border and hunt for it, or make my own. It's also a lot cheaper for me to buy a nice smooth cheap vodka and liqueur it up than to buy top shelf liqueurs, and homemade is almost always better tasting anyway. I dunno if I'll be able to buy the Fireball, I reject it on principle because I was an Aftershock fan. I might just pop a few cinnamon red-hots into a couple ounces of bourbon and use that instead. So yes, please do homemade cinnamon whiskey!

[@SavidgeKitchen]

Cinnamon contains Coumarin. Coumarins have antithrombotic, antiinflammatory, and vasodilatory activities. This may be important based on your meds. Ceylon Cinnamon: Contains only 0.04% Coumarin. Cassia cinnamon: Contains around 4% Coumarin levels Saigon cinnamon, also known as Vietnamese Cassia cinnamon: Contains high level of Coumarin at around 8%.

This should last many many months, and maybe years (but please enjoy it before testing the theory 😂) Alcohol and sugar are both natural preservatives! That being said, air is the enemy when storing high sugar content mixtures (hence the need to store vermouths in the fridge after opening). To give it the longest shelf life possible, store in an air tight container. Fridge helps too, but not strictly necessary here. Hope this helps!

I ❤ Amaretto, so I want to try this. How long should it she before consumption? How about making Galliano and white Creme de Cocoa?

Thanks for the recipe. I was just wandering if one should use Benzaldehyde instead of Almond Extract and Ethyl Vanillin Essence, since I guess the Extracts would make it cloudy? Almonds are 99% Benzaldehyde, so basically one doesnt miss any falvour. (Just my guess)

My fiancé just made Amaretto and we loved it

Cassia cinnamon is a different variety of tree to what we know as Saigon cinnamon. Former is Chinese, while the later is central Vietnam. They are close, but are distinct. There's 10 cinnamon varieties, and we only care about 4 of these really.

Both this recipe and the chocolate one could add one clove with the cool down of the syrup. Cloves are really strong but this would encase the deep chocolate syrup significantly I think. Something to think about

If you enjoy the flavor of cloves, absolutely! Personally, I don’t think they’re going to enhance the chocolate flavor as much as introduce a spice flavor. Cloves are extremely distinct and stand alone in flavor. But that’s not a bad thing!! Let me know if you try it!

The name Amaretto is so called because it comes from bitter almonds (wild almonds). In Italy an "amaretto" is also a soft (and really ancient) cookie made by bitter almonds. As an Italian I believe the liqueur name is so called after that pastry because it reminds of its taste like a "liquid version" of it.
