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.

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 😂🥃

[@marygates8567]

Absolutely need a homemade fireball video!! My husband and niece are huge fans of it at least once a year during our reunions. I don't care for it but they'd just be blown away w/your version of it I'm sure:)

[@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

[@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!!!

[@terryt.1643]

I love Disaronno! Every Sunday I reward myself with a bit in my coffee but it has gotten so expensive. Thanks, I will try this. I like to add Amaretto to peach pie, yum! 🥰👍👍

[@lynns3367]

My husband LOVED making his own concoctions and always added 1/4-1/2 t of cherry juice to his homemade amaretto

[@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!

[@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.

I used the fireball in my Fireball Truffles and Fireball "rum" balls. I guess they would be Fireball Balls. I make homemade extracts, Mead and other stuff and ran across your channel.

[@SavidgeKitchen]

Thank you so much for tuning in! To answer your question, Yes! You can absolutely mix the two. The vodka is super neutral, so the rum will still shine though, just a touch less so than if it were all rum for the base. Hope that helps! Enjoy!!

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 ;) 🥃🔥

@@SavidgeKitchen I too loathe Fireball. Love cinnamon but don't equate red hots with cinnamon... go figure .

Fantastic take on this liqueur. I'm not a fan of the almond taste though. If you haven't done Frangelico or fireball please do it! DO IT. DO IT DO IT!

[@alwayschris0]

Frangelico is basically the same recipe. Just leave out the cinnamon and replace the almond extract with hazelnut extract.

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 ...

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.

.... sounds great - could you melt Red Hots in the simply syrup for the heat you're looking for?

[@Minyassa]

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]

AFTERSHOCK! Holy cow that takes me back! Hello 90's, it's been a while... 😬😂 Also, I feel you on the North Carolina liquor law nonsense. I have family there and know just what a pain it is to get things. I'll definitely do a cinnamon whiskey, and maybe Creme De Violette too! There's no need the good folks of North Carolina should not be able to enjoy a stellar Aviation! Cheers :)

[@dnowic2]

Interesting...moved to NC and found creme de Violette here at my ABC. I also ask the ABC to special order. They can't order everything but you can request items (e.g., Apple Pie from Dr. McGillicuddys). Total Wine or Wegmans also have some liqueurs

[@SavidgeKitchen]

Love it! Might I recommend adding it to a toddy, coffee, or hot chocolate? Snow storm survival tactics ;)

[@sharakirkby2744]

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

[@SavidgeKitchen]

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!

[@cindyling4199]

Wow! I have to try this !! You need to try Foggy Mountain Bonfire cinnamon whisky. I think it tastes better than Fireball.

Hey hey! This is probably a stupid question, but should you sanitize the bottles you put your liqueur in? I usually just put in a lot of soap and super hot water and let it soak for an hour. Is that enough? Thank you!

Not a stupid question at all! Yes, definitely sanitize the bottles. Soap and very hot water will do the trick, and make sure they’re rinsed really well so that any soapy residue is gone :)

Great show! How long can homemade liqueur be kept before it spoils (it it spoils at all) and can be kept at room temperature or must be refrigerated.

[@SavidgeKitchen]

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!

[@kated-abq289]

Thank you so much for your videos! I've learned so much and have truly enjoyed the results!😊 I did want to add for those who have to be especially careful with ingredients. 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%. I'm Not a doctor - just a careful person...

Great information, thank you for sharing!!

[@bww33]

I wonder if you could substitute some of the vanilla and sugar with toasted marshmallows. Toasted marshmallow Amaretto sounds like it might would be good.

[@SavidgeKitchen]

You probably could, but marshmallows really are just sugar with the addition of gelatin. I don’t know that toasting them first will affect the flavor of this much. But I’ve got a suggestion for you! I’d use a marshmallow to smoke the glass you’re going to drink from, and also use as a garnish! To do this, take a marshmallow, set it on fire, then smother the flame with your glass by just inverting it over the marshmallow. Let the smoke hang out in there for a minute before flipping it back over, the pour your amaretto cocktail in the smoked glass, and use the toasted marshmallow as a garnish 🥃 Also, if you want to get into making homemade marshmallows (they’re super easy, and I have a recipe on my website) you can flavor them with amaretto. Sort of the opposite of what you mentioned above, but still related! 😂

Fireball in America contains an ingredient that many European countries deem unsafe for human consumption; hence, Fireball sent overseas is made without it. I won't try it for this reason, but am interested in a homemade version. Thank you!

You have an amazing pallet and I consider you a master chef in beverages. Made your recipe with the Fireball and it exceeds the real thing.

Hah! Not broken at all! Weird? Totally. But who doesn’t love a little weird! Kidding, kidding. 🤣 You’re actually not alone on this at all- Cherry pits have long been used as a substitute for almonds when making extracts and flavorings! They’re related to apricots, plums and other stone fruits, which will give a similar flavor (just like how Disaronno uses apricots).

@@SavidgeKitchen : Ah, a stone fruit connection, wouldn't have guessed. Actual useful esoterica, I love it. Thanks. 😀

What about a recipe for Frangelico??

[@SavidgeKitchen]

Great idea!

[@evanflood7038]

Can I do a version using 1 cup of agave simple syrup and 1 half cup brown sugar? I don’t even know if it would make a difference blood sugar wise but when I make amaretto sour I use agave syrup.

[@SavidgeKitchen]

Absolutely! The agave will affect the flavor a bit, and the texture will be slightly different depending on how much water you add when making the syrup, but both of those things might be really good. Have fun with it :)
