Like a lot of alcoholic beverages, Amaretto is produced by a range of companies occupying different sectors of the market - usually based on price-points, deciphered by the level of quality of produce and packaging. Disaronno is at or near the top, in my book, it's quite expensive (at a whopping £30.00 per litre [half litre bottles sold] ... Read the complete review

It was during a holiday in Turkey about 2 and a half years ago that I was first introduced to Disaronno. My wife isn't a big drinker, but one night after a meal she decided to try a glass of Disaronno and diet coke, as she had seen it advertised on TV and liked the look of it. Of course being the supportive husband that I am I offered to ... Read the complete review

Disaronno Amaretto is a beautifully smelling liqeur. On the nose you can smell the almonds and imagine how smooth it is. The smell reminds me of a battenburg cake. The taste of this liquer is also very beautiful, it is as smooth as it can be and you can taste the lovely aromas coming through. Disaronno Amaretto can be enjoyed simply on ...

~Disaronno~ ********** I recently bought a bottle of Disaronno as there was a promotion whereby you received 2 free cinema tickets when doing so. I felt this made the purchase a good deal, as I had wanted to try the liqueur out and could quite happily enjoy the bonus cinema tickets too. I must admit that this particular ...

This is one of my favourite after dinner drinks. It has a lovely smooth taste and isn't too heavy or sickly. This is because I find brandy based liquors too strong and cream liquors a bit too sickly especially if they are not cold. I enjoy my Ameretto with a coffee and without ice as I prefer the stronger flavour than a watered down one. ... Read the complete review

About Disaronno: Dated back to 1525, Disaronno is a version of Amaretto. The drink is the colour of honey and has a very distinctive almond-marzipan flavour to it. The most commonly found sized bottle in supermarkets is 50cl and you can generally pick this up for around £13-14. It can be drunk neat or is also really nice mixed with ... Read the complete review

Disaronno is an Italian liqueur which is a transparent orangey/brownish colour that has been flavored with herbs and fruits soaked in apricot kernel oil. Sounds exotic huh? It is presented in an exquisite glass bottle with a square shaped cork type lid which inserts in the bottle to preserve it. This is quite a traditional liquer which ... Read the complete review

After having spent a year living in Italy, I became very familiar with a few of their favourite tipples. One of these was Disaronno... History The drink claims to have history dating back as far as 1525. The story goes that one of Leonardo Da Vinci's pupils was commisioned to paint a fresco of the Madonna. After choosing ...

As a rule, I'm not a fan of herb-infused spirits. It tends to create a noxious smell, over the top flavour and relentless aftertaste. For Amaretto, though, I'll happily make an exception. This is something quite different - in the most delicious way. There are plenty of imitators, but this rich Italian liqueur manages to ... Read the complete review

Me and Disaronno have quite a big connection, this little bad boy got me through my final two years at university. This makes me sound like an alcoholic, but I honestly wasnt. I do want to promote responsible drinking, but the stress of my uni work and my flatmates got to me and I used to have a glass of this every night, with coke in. ... Read the complete review

Amaretto is one of my favourite drinks and Disaronno is the one which I see as the original and the best. It is an Italian liqueur and is very versatile drink. Of course you can drink it on its own, plain or with ice. This is really nice as it is not too strong and doesn't burn my throat the way that drinks such as whiskey and ... Read the complete review

This is another drink I adore but only tend to drink around christmas time, along with baileys and red wine (not mixed together!) Disaronno is an italian liquer, it comes in a fancy glass bottle with a large square screw off cap on the top and a gold label on the front. It normally costs around £15 for a 70cl bottle and is 28% ... Read the complete review

I am a huge fan of disaronno, I tried it very recently on a night out and have fell in love with it since. It is the nicest amaretto I have tasted. I have seen many adverts on this drink and always wanted to try it for myself, luckily I now am a proud owner of this drink and it has to be my favourite spirit. I have RECIEVED two gift sets ...

I was given a bottle of this as a gift at Christmas, after wanting to try it for some time, so I'm unsure how much it cost but having seen it in the shops before it is around £17 or maybe more, not particularly cheap I suppose but pretty much the going rate for a liqueur. The bottle itself is lovely and it seems a shame to ... Read the complete review

My mam is the first one who got me in to Disaronno Amaretto, she loves to have a small amount of it neat on an occasional basis. Originally this is how she would serve it to me, I love marzipan so it was a pleasant taste, however I found that after a while it can become sickly, particularly as it is so sticky and sweet. Since moving ... Read the complete review

I first tasted Amaretto Disaronno on a night out mixed with Coke. Since then I have never looked back and Disaronno and Coke has always been on the menu for me when I am drinking. The drink costs around £15 for a 70cl bottle from all major supermarkets and it has to be said that Disaronno has quickly become a very popular drink. ... Read the complete review

Firstly, I adore Marzipan to the point that at Xmas I can sit and knaw at a bag of it Disaronno, for me, is basically alcoholic liquid marzipan. I'm not a keen drinker but this stuff has such a heady aroma that the smell is intoxicating in itself! It is also the only liquor/spirit that I can drink on its own/over ice. I ...

I had never tried Amaretto up until a couple of years ago at one of my friend's houses, instead favouring rose wine or cocktails. My friend was drinking it mixed with coke and ice and described it to me as tasting like 'alcoholic Dr Pepper'. Now, before I went off fizzy drinks, Dr Pepper was my absolute favourite one so I was keen to ... Read the complete review

At eight months pregnant the last thing I want to taste is alcohol. Stuff the medical advice, the very whiff of booze is enough to give me heartburn and make me barf. Tonight though I've had a couple of glasses of Disaronno, after Mark's mate brought me a couple of miniatures round. Those two are now pissed up on the sofa and I'm ... Read the complete review

Amaretto in general is as close to a perfect evening long drink as they come. It combines the mellow slow experience of rum, the warmth of mulled wine and the relaxing feel of whisky yet tastes like none of the above. Disaronno Amoretto is by far the most well-known of the various different brands producing the drink and there ... Read the complete review
