Monin Amaretto Syrup 250ml Monin Amaretto Syrup 250ml

Monin Amaretto Syrup is based on the classic Italian sweet almond-flavored liqueur, with the distinct flavor of "mandria amara" or bitter almonds, and the name Amaretto means "slightly bitter" in Italian.


Its origins are said to date back to the Italian Renaissance. Legend has it that in 1525, artist Bernardino Luini, a student of Leonardo da Vinci, was commissioned to paint a fresco of the Virgin of Miracles in Saronno. He chose a beautiful local innkeeper to inspire his depiction of the Madonna. As a gift to show her gratitude and affection, she steeped apricot kernels in brandy and presented Luini with the resulting amber liquid.


Today, amaretto is typically made using apricot seeds and may also contain almonds and other nuts.


Monin Amaretto brings out the bittersweet flavor of this popular liqueur and can be used to create a sumptuous Tiramisu Cappuccino or an irresistible Italian-themed dessert or after-dinner drink.
