Amaretto

Amaretto (Italian for ‘a little bitter’) is a sweet Liqueur that originated in Saronno (a commune Lombardy, Italy).

Depending on the brand, Amaretto can be made from a variety of ingredients including apricot kernals, peach stones, bitter almonds, or just regular almonds. They keys is all of these ingredients contain benzaldehyde which acts as the almond-like flavour of the liqueur.

Amaretto usually contains between 21 to 28 per cent alcohol by volume.

Southern Comfort

Southern Comfort (aka SoCo) is an American Fruit-Flavoured Whiskey Liqueur.

It was created in 1874 when a man called Martin Wilkes Heron flavored bourbon with honey, citrus and spices.

Heron created the liqueur whilst working at McCauley’s Tavern, a saloon in New Orleans’ French Quarter and patented the concoction in 1889 when he moved to Memphis.
