It is unlikely that anyone will remain indifferent to such an exquisite combination of invigorating strong coffee and a special bitter almond taste.

What is the beauty of this special drink, how to prepare Amaretto coffee correctly? What are the recipes?

From the history of the appearance of liqueur

Translation from Italian of the word “Amaretto” or Amaretto means a bitter drink. Amaretto coffee gets its name from the liqueur it is used in combination with. The appearance of liqueur is associated with the 16th century. There is an opinion that he owes his birth to a representative of the Disaronno family, and the classic Amaretto is called Disaronno Originale.

According to other sources, the emergence of a liqueur called Amaretto was preceded by a very romantic story.

Once upon a time, the Italian artist Bernardino Luini received the task of painting frescoes on the walls of the church in Saronno. The artist needed a model, who became a certain widow.

She was amazing , like Madonna. Love broke out between the artist, a student of Leonardo da Vinci, and the woman who posed for him.

The customs accepted in the society of that time did not allow them to be together. And when the lady appeared before the artist on her last visit, she presented him with a peculiar drink, prepared with her own hands . Its sweetness was reminiscent of almonds, associated with their relationship to each other, and its bitter taste was reminiscent of their upcoming separation.

It was then, as the legend says, that the origin of the famous Italian liqueur Amaretto began. They began to add it to coffee after some time to give it a certain flavor. Even later, instead of liqueur, it was proposed to use almond-flavored syrup. This is how a non-alcoholic version of the popular drink appeared.

Original coffee with bitterness

Those who love and appreciate this noble drink are constantly delighted by its deep taste. Thanks to the notes of almonds, the adored drink receives a unique charm, tartness and richness.

And when there's liqueur, what's best to drink Amaretto with? Of course, with coffee. This unique combination of sweet liqueur and a drink made from aromatic bitter grains has brought the cocktail worldwide popularity.
