\"Amaretto<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We have had this recipe in the family for years thanks to a friend of my parents. Truthfully it is a tough call for me which I like better, this or the Homemade Kahlua<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mom usually made it with her homemade apricot liqueur.<\/a> Apricots and almonds are closely related so it isn't that surprising that it is apricot is used to help flavor an almond cordial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is a bit of a cheater recipe compared to the other homemade liqueur recipes we have, using almond extract instead of infusing the alcohol with the flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, it tastes delicious and is a good recipe to start with if you have never made liqueurs before. And there is no waiting like the other methods!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I usually store it in the vodka bottle until I am ready to display it or give it as a gift. For gift giving just find a pretty bottle and pour it in. Add a label and a bow and BOOM! you are done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
