Amaretto
Stone-fruit spirit
Amaretto is an Italian liqueur with a distinctive almond flavor, though it's typically made from apricot pits or almonds steeped in alcohol with added sweeteners.
It appears in cocktails like the amaretto sour and in desserts: tiramisu with a splash of amaretto.
The name comes from the Italian word for "a little bitter."
