Indulge in the iconic and mysterious taste of Disaronno Originale, the authentic Italian amaretto liqueur presented in its signature square glass decanter. This 700ml bottle holds a spirit with a rich heritage dating back to the Renaissance, celebrated for its unique, bittersweet almond flavour and unmistakable character. It is a versatile and sophisticated liqueur, perfect for sipping on its own or for crafting elegant cocktails.
A Secret Recipe from 1525: The story of Disaronno begins in Saronno, Italy, in 1525. According to legend, the recipe was a gift from an artist’s muse and has been passed down through generations, remaining a closely guarded secret ever since. What is known is that its unique flavour is derived from the pure essence of apricot kernels, which gives it its signature “amaretto” (little bitter) taste. Importantly, despite its almond-like flavour, Disaronno is completely nut-free, making it a perfect choice for sharing with everyone.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: An intense and persistent aroma of sweet marzipan, toasted almonds, and a hint of vanilla.
- Palate: A beautifully smooth and velvety palate. The initial sweetness gives way to a complex bittersweet flavour of apricot stone and almond, with notes of vanilla and caramelised sugar.
- Finish: A long, warm, and satisfyingly smooth finish that is both sweet and pleasantly aromatic.
How to Enjoy: Disaronno’s unique taste makes it a star ingredient in a wide range of drinks. For a perfectly balanced and sophisticated cocktail that’s a favourite for a night out in Halesowen, try a classic Disaronno Sour:
- Shake 50ml Disaronno, 25ml fresh lemon juice, 5ml sugar syrup, and 1 egg white (optional, for a silky foam) with ice.
- Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
- Garnish with a fresh wedge of lemon.
It’s also delicious in a simple Disaronno & Coke, served tall over ice with a slice of lemon, making it an effortlessly stylish drink for any occasion.
