Amaretto Adriatico

Do your tiramisu (and yourself) a favor.

Legend has it, one of Da Vinci's students painted a fresco in Lombardy in 1525. When he wanted to depict Madonna, he needed a model, which he found in a young widow. After finishing the masterpiece, she thanked him with a curious potion she made by steeping apricot kernels in Brandy. Ecco! Amaretto was born.

There are countless Amaretto brands out there, but Jean-Robert Bellanger, the creator of Adriatico, found a perfect recipe: roasted and distilled Filippo Cea almonds, hand-picked in Apulia, a lush blend of vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa, and coffee, and a pinch of Adriatic sea salt from Margherita di Savoia. Amaretto Adriatico Classic Bourbon Cask is a limited offering that was aged in Bourbon casks from Heaven Hill for 8 months. It contains 50% less sugar and it was infused with coffee, cocoa, and cinnamon for the perfect flavor balance. A pinch of sea salt was added for that special extra twist. Enjoy this one however you prefer and here’s a little pro tip: add 2 drops to your tiramisu and watch it reach new heights.
