amaretto
Italian dessert spirit
Amaretto is an Italian liqueur with a distinctive almond flavor, though it's typically made from apricot pits or almonds.
Sweet and slightly bitter, it's drunk neat, mixed in cocktails like the amaretto sour, or used in desserts and coffee: She added a splash of amaretto to her tiramisu.
The name comes from the Italian word for "a little bitter."
