How to Make Amaretto Almond Liqueur Homemade
- Combine apricot kernels, almond extract, vodka, sugar, and water in a jar.
- Stir well to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
- Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
- Let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours, shaking occasionally.
- After 24 hours, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth lined strainer into a clean bottle or jar, pressing gently to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Discard the solids.
- Seal the bottle tightly and store in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavors to fully meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
- Enjoy your homemade Amaretto in cocktails, desserts, or simply on its own over ice.
