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.

For Amaretto, we recommend:

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.

Vodka

We compared 12 different brands of Vodka and determined that Smirnoff was the overall best option. Given the current climate with Russia, that may seem like a questionable choice, but Smirnoff isn’t made in Russia, it’s made all over the world.

It actually has a history of Russian persecution and the creators were forced to flee Russia.
