How To Make Home Made Amaretto: Two Versions Blind Taste Tested Against Disaronno

Time for something a little sweeter. This week we are making Amaretto, in fact, we are making two different versions of Ameretto. These turned out a WHOLE lot better than I thought they would. But I wanted to blind taste them against Disaronno anyway and see how they faired. -------------------------- Recipe One Make a syrup from: 1 cup of water 1 cup of white sugar 1/2 cup of brown sugar Let it cool and add too: 2 cups of vodka 2 tablespoon of almond essence 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence Bottle it! ------------------- Recipe Two (my version): Macerate the following for 2-4 days: 1 1/2 tart apricots. tinned is fine if they are not cooked. Fresh would be better. 50 grams or sliced almonds 2 cups of 50% neutral spirit Make a syrup from: 1 cup of water 1 cup of white sugar 1/2 cup of brown sugar Let the syrup cool Add the syrup to the maceration and add: 2 Table Spoons of Almond essence 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (with seeds in) Let macerate for another 2-4 days strain and add lemon or lime juice to taste. It should be imperceptible but used to add a little "freshness" and balance out the sugar. I used 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon. Strain and bottle. Then enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Get More From Chase The Craft : www.chasethecraft.com Chase The Craft Hats:https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/ch... ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks To Gladfield Malt for the Manuka Smoked Malt: https://www.gladfieldmalt.co.nz/ Still Its Patreon Page:   / stillit   Still It Tee Shirts: New Chase The Craft Designs available now! https://teespring.com/stores/stillit Sign Up To The Still It Mailing List Here: http://stillitmaillist.gr8.com Some Cool Distilling Stuff On Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/influence...
