therealmrbrightside Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Try Macro or Big C.....and look for 'Dissarono Amaretto' proper Italian stuff. Some bars have the cheap stuff but it's no where near as good as the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gennisis Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Amaretto is an bitter almond liqueur Did you mean made from bitter almonds or that the liqueur itself is bitter. Being a liqueur I would class it as very sweet myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardholder Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I would say 'sweet' almond taste (with an alcoholic kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartender100 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 You want Frangelico if you want hazelnut, delicious in coffee.Never seen it in Thailand, must be able somewhere http://www.frangelico.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealmrbrightside Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Dissarono Amaretto in a whiskey glass over ice -mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm DEFINITELY NOT BITTER (sweet as marzipan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiud Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 The name is a diminutive of the Italian amaro, meaning "bitter", indicating the distinctive flavour lent by the mandorla amara--the bitter almond or the drupe kernel. However, the bitterness is not unpalatable, and the flavour is enhanced by sweeteners, and sometimes sweet almonds, in the final products.[2] Therefore, the liqueur's name can be said to describe the taste as "a little bitter". Conflation of amare and amore ("love") is primarily responsible for the associations with romance.[/url]Amaretto should not be confused with amaro, a different family of Italian liqueurs that, while also sweetened, have a stronger bitter flavour coming from herbs. from Wikipedia uff...

Nevermind the description provided by Wikipedia, have you ever personally tasted Ameretto? Or Frangelico Liqueur? As others have said, it is sweet, but not overly so, and it is most definetly not bitter. Next time you're in a big international type bar, if they have either of these 2 liqueurs, try it.

angiud Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Being english my second language, I just want to make clear tha I said Amaretto is an bitter almond liqueur meaning for my bad english: "is a liqueur made with bitter almond." Being italian I think I know the taste of Amaretto Disaronno, Frangelico, Nocino, (Almond, hazelnut and walnut liqueurs, all of them disgustingly sweet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarangBuddha Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I would imagine some of the upmarket stores might stock it in their alcohol sections...try Villa Market at The Avenue, the Tops Market in the basement of the Central Beach mall, or either of the Best Market liquor stores at 2nd Road and Central Road or at the north-east corner of the dolphin roundabout at Naklua Road and North Pattaya road.

cardholder Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Confirm. Yesterday, Friendship had at least 4 different types of Amaretto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laban Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Amaretto is almond based and usually sickly sweet, Francgelico which is hazlenut based is excellent. You can drink it at Mata Hari's - not sure where he gets it from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
