I REALLY ENJOYED THIS DRINK. BUT I HAD 2 CHANGE THE RECIPE A LITTLE INSTEAD OF ALMOND EXTRACT I USED 3 SLICED ALMONDS. THE ALMONDS SEEM TO MAKE IT TASTE BETTER.

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.

This was very easy and makes a nice gift during the Holiday's. I went to dollar store and got some abstract looking bottles for the presentation & every one loved It!

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!

Good, but expensive since almond extract is so expensive. Easy too.

Not quite as thick as store bought but with a good flavor. Better for recipes than for sipping, maybe.
