What is Amaretto?

You may have heard of the popular drink, the classic Amaretto Sour. Amaretto is an Italian liqueur with an almond flavor. It is also made with apricot pits and added spices. Probably the most famous amaretto liqueur is Disaronno. 

Amaretto has many uses beyond cocktails, including adding to pancake mix, cakes, ice cream, and other desserts.

Ingredients You Need for this Delicious Coconut Cocktail

You will have the most luck finding all the ingredients for this amaretto cocktails at a larger liquor store, as it does contain some specialty items. However, I have linked the ingredients below for your shopping ease. 

To make this Disaronno amaretto cocktail, you will need the following ingredients (go to the recipe below for exact quantities and instructions):

• Orgeat syrup: this is a sweet syrup made from almonds, sugar, and rose water or orange flower water. If you cannot find this, you could use almond syrup. 
• Cream of coconut
• Disaronno
• Coconut Rum
• Coconut Water
• Crushed Ice
• Minneola tangelo: this is a citrus fruit that looks like an orange. It is a hybrid fruit that tastes like a tangerine. Can’t find Minneolas in your store? You can easily substitute a navel orange or mandarin for your garnish.
