Alcohols & Liqueurs
Substitutes for Amaretto Liqueur in gelato
Amaretto is a sweet Italian almond-flavored liqueur (28% ABV) built on apricot kernels and/or almonds with a substantial sucrose load (about 28 g of sugar per 100 g). In gelato it is a dual-action ingredient: a potent freezing-point depressant from its alcohol plus a flavor and sweetness carrier. Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked.
