Have you ever tasted marzipan?That’s the closest thing we can compare this Italian liqueur to.Though amaretto means “a little bitter” in its country of origin, without a doubt, it’s a sweet drink.
Amarettos like Disaronno are famous for their candy sweetness, but you’ll get plenty of almond and cherry notes while you sip them, just like marzipan.
