How to Make Amaretto Almond Liqueur
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 2 cups of granulated sugar.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Remove from heat and let the simple syrup cool completely to room temperature (approximately 15-20 minutes).
- Once cooled, add 1 cup of vodka, 2 teaspoons of almond extract, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the simple syrup.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Pour the mixture into a clean, sterilized glass bottle or jar.
- Seal tightly with a lid and let the liqueur rest in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, or up to a month for a richer flavor. Shake gently every few days to blend the flavors.
- After resting, strain the liqueur through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth (optional, to remove any sediment).
- Enjoy your homemade Amaretto! Serve chilled or over ice.
