Amber color. Nutty aromas and flavors of marzipan, cannoli, apricot, and almond joy with a creamy, soft, moderately sweet medium-to-full body and a smooth, appealing, medium-length finish revealing notes of toasted nuts, cocoa, cafe au lait, and praline. For the almond and toasted nut lover, this decadent liqueur with a hint of cacao will elevate any cocktail that calls for Amaretto.

Nut liqueurs have been flavored with the addition of hazelnuts, almonds, pecans and other nuts, usually along with other spices. Most are brown or amber in color; some are dry, some sweet. They are normally in the 18% to 25% alcohol range and are served neat as after-dinner liqueurs.
