Top Shelf Amaretto

Still Spirits Top Shelf Amaretto creates a bittersweet almond liqueur inspired by the classic northern Italian style. It combines rich almond character with the sweetness and body supplied by the matching liqueur base.

What else you will need

Use one 50 ml bottle with Top Shelf Liqueur Base C and 850 ml of 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka. Prepare the base as directed, add the flavouring and spirit, then top up with water to 1.125 litres.

Alternative amaretto essence

• Essencia Amaretto also makes 1.125 litres and can be prepared with Essencia EziBase. Its mixing and ageing directions differ, so follow the selected product rather than exchanging the recipes.
