Amaretto Cocktails Recipes

Amaretto Cocktails

Amaretto cocktails highlight the warm, nutty sweetness of this beloved Italian liqueur. Known for its rich almond and apricot kernel notes, Amaretto adds depth and character to both classic and modern drinks. From the tangy balance of the Amaretto Sour to the smooth sophistication of the Godfather (Amaretto and Scotch) and dessert-like creations such as the Toasted Almond, these cocktails are versatile, comforting, and crowd-pleasing. Whether enjoyed as a cozy nightcap or a lively party pour, Amaretto brings a touch of Italian indulgence to the glass.

Mixed Drink

Stiletto

A smooth balance of whiskey, amaretto, and fresh lemon juice, the Stiletto Whiskey & Amaretto Cocktail is a simple mixed drink with rich nutty sweetness and a bright citrus edge.
