@@cecimeci4839 Of course, yes... also, the original Amaretto liqueur should be sweetly + bitter. You definitely don't have to worry about using bitter almonds. On the contrary... someone makes Amaretto liqueur even using apricot kernels (I mean the "wooden" shell from which you peel the almond). This gives to the liqueur a "woody" taste - similar to whisky. BTW, this video tutorial is very nice 👍. It's concise... in my opinion... with a very appropriate choice of flavorings (I mean appropriate spices). I haven't tried this recipe yet... but I definitely have to sometime ❕

I couldn't tell you exact amounts, because I like to add until I like it, but I made an amaretto using almonds and vanilla extracts. Mixed them with a brown sugar syrup. For the spirit I used a tart cherry boche that I gave the liquor fairy. Had cherry and caramel flavors. Absolutely the best amaretto I've ever had.

Adding a small amount of lime (calcium hydroxide) and iron sulphate to the maceration and then distilling will bind up most of the cyanide (it forms a non-volatile iron salt) but allows the benzaldehyde (almond flavour) to distil over. If the cyanide isn't bound up it will just distil over into the final product. Thanks for the link to AoD, drink safely.

Stronger alcohol pulls more flavor agents. This can be a good thing, but most times it is not. Think it like wood aging X's ???. 50-60% ABV is ideal range for wood aging. Each % pulls out different flavors, so it makes a difference in the end product.

My wife drinks amaretto and coke. I think it tastes like Dr Pepper. If you “hypothetically” distilled the maceration it would remove all the amygdalin and therefore the cyanide. Brewbird has an amazing amaretto video My comment from her video: “amygdalin is soluble in ethanol however evaporation of the alcohol will cause the amygdalin to crystallise out of solution. The melting point of amygdalin is 225c therefore after distillation, all amygdalin will be left behind. It’s not going to end up in your final product.”
