To me, this tastes just as good as the kind from the store. I even used cheap vodka and it turned out amazing. It makes great drinks. My favorite is an amaretto sour with ice, cold water, and lime juice. Yummy!

I don't remember what true amaretto tastes like (it's been awhile since my drinking days) but this is really good! I used a med-price vodka & doubled the recipe which resulted in 7 & 3/4 c of finished product. I gave it away to some friends who always drink Disaronno -they couldn't tell the difference. They drink it with sprite or 7-up and it's great! Now that I've tried it, I wish I hadn't given it all away. Two tips 1. use DARK brown sugar 2. make sure the simple syrup is not hot before adding your liquor or the vodka will evaporate (10 minutes wasn't long enough for mine to cool down). I experimented & used cheap vodka & I didn't like it at all! I really didn't think it would make too much of a difference but it did. I store it in the fridge and shake well before serving. Great find! Thanks!

This stuff is great! Didn't have enough regular vodka so I mixed with Six Vanilla vodka, didn't seem to make much of a difference. Beats spending $20 for real amaretto. It is sweet so maybe next time a little less sugar

This is so right on for an amaretto liqueur. I make this rather than buy Disaronno. Mixed with ginger ale and it tastes like a cream soda or mix with Mikes hard limeade and it tastes great.

Absolutely delicious! I will certainly double or triple the recipe next time I make it because all my family and friends wanted a bottle of their own to take home!

This is excellent. I make it every year and put in my Amaretto Disaronno Bottle and no one knows the difference. I also give it to friends as gifts in smaller bottles. Make sure you use a good quality vanilla and amaratto extract and also make sure you use dark brown sugar. Light brown sugar just doesn't do it justice. Thanks again

Very good! It's not quite as "thick" or sweet as DiSaranno, but it is still delicious! I made an amaretto sour with it and it was very good.

Not cost effective to save $ because of the cost of the vodka. Tastes just like the real thing though.

I used this amaretto recipe in my tiramisu and it was brilliant!!! Definitely just as good as the real thing at a fraction of the cost.

I would give this a 5 stars if it indicated DARK brown sugar. I made this with what I had on hand (light brown sugar) and it was OK. Next time I will wait for the dark brown sugar before making again.

This is a great recipe! After I ran out of my Disaronno and found this recipe and decided, "Why not?" I prepared the recipe and refilled my empty bottle. In my opinion it tastes better and smoother. I used a higher quality vodka that was luckily on sale. And you HAVE to let the mixture cool. Alcohol burns off at higher temperatures and it can lose up to 30% of the alcohol if added immediately.

I've made this recipe quite a few times now. It always turns out great. I always use real vanilla and almond extracts so the flavour and colour resemble the real thing even more. I don't buy costly Disarono anymore. Everyone who tried it said it was good! I love making an Amaretto Sour with it: 1 1/4 oz liqueur, Ice, 1 heaping tsp super fine sugar and 1 1/4 sweet and sour mix... shake and serve.
