Cooking Instructions

Combine sugar and water in medium heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Lower heat and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool thoroughly. Stir in Amaretto extract and vodka. Pour into a clean glass bottle with tight fitting lid and store in a cool, dry place. Makes: About 4.5 cups
Can be served immediately, but the alcohol and sugar will combine and get smoother over the next 2-3 weeks or so.  Some people like their liqueurs a little less sweet. To compensate for the reduction in sugar, glycerine is added to give the liqueur the smoothness expected. Glycerine is a natural sugar that won’t affect the taste of your liqueur. See our recipe for <a href="http://recipes.allstarextracts.com/?p=recipe&recipe=13" target="_blank">Light Nutty Amaretto</a>.
