This is excellent. I will never buy the bottle stuff again. I did boil the sugar an extra minute for a thicker consistency, and it is perfect. Thank you! I will make this again.... and again.

I tried this recipe & it doesn't taste like the original Amaretto. BRANDY is what makes it taste better.

Easy to make and tastes nice, but the Almond extract separates from the other liquid as it's in a peanut oil carrier for cooking. If you have the patience it's worth making it without the almond essence, by soaking some skinless ground almonds in the vodka for 2 months before use.

It tasted like cough syrup. To make it palatable, it needed more water and the water and sugar needed to simmer (1 hour) to make the simple syrup needed for liquors.

OH YEA!!! This recipe is great! I am an amaretto lover. It is as good as the expensive one. The only thing I changed is......instead of just letting the sugar mixture 'cool' I CHILLED it. You probably could just make the sugar mixture and refrigerate it overnight and then continue with the recipe. Next time I will use a 'better grade' vodka but the cheap one was really good. I saved an Amaretto bottle (750 ML) and this recipe made about 1 cup more. @ more than 1/2 the price of the store stuff. Hope you all ENJOY ......... I AM!

Very tasty. I'm not a connoisseur of commercial Amaretto, so I can't comment on how close it comes to the original, but I'll use this with pleasure. I followed the advice of a couple of reviewers and used dark brown sugar and simmered the syrup for 5 minutes to thicken it. For me, a cup and a half of vodka was just right.
