Amaretto liqueur (optional)

Description

Amaretto liqueur is a sweet, aromatic liqueur with an amber color and a distinct almond note with a subtle bitterness, often reminiscent of marzipan or bitter almonds. It has a thicker consistency than vodka and an intense aroma that adds a refined, slightly nutty sweetness to desserts and drinks. Nutritionally, it is a source of calories mainly from alcohol and sugars, contains small amounts of minerals, but does not provide significant nutritional value; it is advisable to consume it in moderation, keeping in mind the contraindications for those allergic to nuts or avoiding alcohol. In the kitchen, amaretto pairs wonderfully with desserts (tiramisu, creams, ice creams), cakes, fruit sauces, coffee, and cocktails, adding depth and aroma; it is also used for soaking sponge cakes or glazes. It should be stored in a tightly sealed bottle in a cool, dark place; it does not require refrigeration, but after opening, chilling or storing it away from heat sources will prolong the freshness of its flavor.
