Amaretto is a sweet, almond-flavored liqueur of Italian origin, typically amber-colored and served chilled or on the rocks. The term denotes a distinct dessert-style liqueur used in cocktails or as an after-dinner digestif. Its name derives from its almond-like profile, though real almonds and apricot kernels may contribute to its flavor. The word is used as a noun for both the liqueur and, less commonly, the flavor itself.
