These Amaretto cocktails all use an almond base liqueur as part of the drink.

I first tasted Amaretto when I lived in Australia.  It was very common to end most meals in a restaurant with a liqueur of some sort. Amaretto soon became one of my favorites. 

Some of these cocktails are simple and some combine several ingredients so that the amaretto is just a hint in the background.

But all have that familiar almond nuttiness which is so distinctive to amaretto.

Enjoy the nuttiness of my favorite Amaretto Cocktails.
