What Drinks Can You Make With Vodka & Amaretto?
Amaretto is a syrupy Italian liqueur that has an almond taste. Conversely, vodka is clear and flavorless. When mixed together, amaretto's almond flavoring isn't as strong; it tastes similar to cherries. The following recipes, taken from sources listed in the References section at the end of this article, are all prepared by blending the drinks in a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with fresh ice when making each drink. Does this Spark an idea?
