The 19th of April is National Amaretto Day, a celebration of one of the world’s most popular liqueurs, Amaretto. Its name, amaretto, is derived from the Italian word ‘amaro’, which means bitter; amaretto literally means “a little bitter.” Saronno is the birthplace of amaretto, which is typically a mixture of apricot kernels, bitter almonds, peach stones, and almonds. The sweet almond confection with a hint of vanilla and a slightly bitter residue imparts a distinctive flavour to foods and beverages.
Amaretto is an unforgettable, refined blend of the finest ingredients, and it is the perfect complement to a lazy day. Enjoyed neat or used to flavour desserts such as ice cream, added to cake, pastries, pancakes, fruits, or as a sauce topping, amaretto also has a reputation as a key ingredient in classic cocktails such as the Amaretto Sour.
Amaretto didn’t arrive in the United States until the 1960s (becoming wildly popular by the 1970s and even becoming the second-most popular liquor in the United States in the 1980s), but its fascinating history dates back to the 16th century.
Although the certainty of amaretto’s true origin is shrouded in ambiguity, two families claim ownership of the popular liqueur. According to the legend generally acknowledged, Amaretto originated in Saronno, Italy. In 1525, the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie commissioned Bernardino Luini, a disciple of the renowned painter, sculptor, architect, and inventor Leonardo da Vinci, to paint the Adoration of the Magi, including the Madonna of the Miracles, on a fresco. A beautiful widowed innkeeper served as his muse, and the two had a thing, so she decided to give him a special drink, a delectable treat made from apricot kernels soaked in brandy that would go down in history as the first-ever amaretto drink. Although the company’s name has changed over the years — from Amaretto di Saronno Originale to Amaretto Disaronno to Disaronno Originale in 2001 — its distinctive flavour has continued to win over consumers.

Although the liqueur is delicious, its name is derived from the Italian word amaro, which means “bitter from the almond flavour.”
An ounce of amaretto, which is ingested as an after-dinner treat and is said to be composed primarily of carbohydrates with a hint of vitamins and minerals, contains 110 calories, so moderation is advised.
The average price for one of the world’s most popular liquors with a distinct almond flavour is $30.
The D’Amalfi Limoncello Supreme spirits, valued at £27,000,000.00, is proof that luxury and affordability are never synonymous; the neck of the bottle features three solitary thirteen-carat diamonds and the rarest of diamonds, 18.5 carats.
Amaretto, when consumed in moderation, is said to reduce tension, anxiety, and the risk of heart disease.
