Luxardo Amaretto

Luxardo Amaretto is a classic almond-flavoured liqueur from the Luxardo family distillery in Torreglia, Veneto, Italy — produced from the pits of cherries, peaches, and apricots for a fragrant aroma and well-rounded taste, distinguished by being drier than other amaretto liqueurs with a hint of vanilla, and certified Kosher.

Luxardo was founded in 1821 and is best known for its Maraschino cherry liqueur. The Amaretto uses stone fruit pits (cherry, peach, and apricot) — the traditional source of the almond-like amandine flavour in Italian amaretti — rather than almonds themselves, producing the characteristic fragrant, slightly bitter, and complex character that distinguishes well-made amaretto. The drier character versus standard sweetened amarettos makes it more versatile in cocktails.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Luxardo Amaretto drier than Disaronno or other amarettos?

Different amaretto producers use different sugar levels and botanical profiles. Luxardo’s house style favours less sweetness and a more pronounced stone fruit bitterness from the pits, producing a drier, more complex result that works better in cocktails where excessive sweetness can overwhelm other ingredients.
