| Actually,
contrary to popular belief, the only almond
Disaronno has ever seen is across the aisle
at the supermarket. The almond flavour comes
from the oil extracted from the seed inside
an apricot pip, which although similar in
taste to an almond it is actually part of
the fruit, making it suitable for people
with nut allergies. Seventeen different
herbs and fruits are soaked in this fruity
oil for a period of time, after which, the
liquid is drained off and mixed with caramelised
sugar and married with pure alcohol.
