Hi! Ifound this receipe to be very similar to the bought variety. However I found that a lot of the oil from the extract tended to float to the top no matter how much I tried to blend it by shaking. This detracted somewhat from the appearance. I eventually poured it into a gravy separator and poured off the oil but there was stil a residual film on the top. I have to say it didn't stop me drinking it!!!!

I used this as a basic recipe to make different flavor cordials. By using flavored vodka and using different extracts I made several yummy tasting drinks for my next party.I only gave 4 stars because I didn't make the actual recipe, I scaled it to make several varieties.

It was really good! I made it with a little bit more sugar at the suggestion of someone else and I think that may have made it too sweet! I also used vanilla concentrate from Dominican Republic on the second batch and that made the flavor so much better! You can find it at any Latin American grocery store, which is easy to find here in Miami! Overall, it was good, good strong flavor, and it doesn't need as much vodka as the recipe calls for.

Smelled great and tasted good. I gave these away in small corked bottles I found at a craft store. I attached a recipe for Italian Margaritas and was sure to tell recipients to store upright and use within a month or two. I'm glad I tried it. Thanks.

This is not a smooth drink due to the stoutness of the vodka but it has a great flavor.

Fabulous! Everyone who's tasted it loves it. I used a little less vodka and cooked it a bit longer, and that solved the thickness problem.

Tastes just like the real thing, but not as thick. Also, you have to use dark brown sugar if you want it to look like store bought amaretto.

A bit too thin even after I boiled the syrup mixture, but the taste was very close to the real thing.

So simple, fast, and tasty! I accidentally doubled the brown sugar, but I think the mistake wound up bringing the recipe to the "thickness" everyone else was looking for and gave it a the deeper amber color we're used to seeing with amaretto. The hardest part was finding a place that sells bottles (I wound up finding a cool shaped bottle at The Container Store), but if I had planned ahead I might have gone to one of the many stores online. Type "empty glass bottles" into your search engine.

Excellent! I accidentally added 2 tbsp of coconut extract bcz I wasn't looking at the bottle, then added the vanilla extract too! It turned out wonderful! I will be doing these for Xmas. I also did the boiling of sugar water to attempt to thicken up. Turned out excellent.

Excellent recipe - delicious and easy. I made this (and homemade Kahlua) for holiday gift-giving and decanted it into pretty bottles. I also used some to flavor chocolate truffles. Highly recommended.

Very tasty! I let the sugar-water mixture boil for 2 minutes to thicken it up a little bit more. It was very easy to make, and although it still wasn't as thick as the "real stuff" nobody complained...they were too busy drinking!
