How to Make Amaretto
- Combine 1 cup of water and 2 cups of granulated sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until all the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for approximately 120 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened considerably and coats the back of a spoon. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the syrup cool completely for at least 10 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup of vodka, 1 teaspoon of almond extract, and ½ teaspoon of bitter almond extract. Mix well to combine.
- Carefully pour the mixture into a sterilized bottle or jar, seal tightly, and let it sit for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavors to meld before serving. (Optional: Let it age longer for a smoother flavor.)
