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.

No complexity, too sweet, thin, and artificially flavored. Besides, Drambuie is built on scotch whiskey, not vodka! And it uses honey not sugars. Scotch would bring a lot of its complexity along with it, paired with he right ingredients. But these are not them. If you're willing to spend money on expensive abstracts ans such, why not save up your pocket change and get the real thing!

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.
