How To Make A Sparkling Amaretto Cocktail
13th February 2020
If you’re looking for a nutty tasting Cocktail, then a bottle of Amaretto will do the trick.
What is Amaretto?
Amaretto is an almond flavoured liqueur, but it won’t always contain almonds, it is made from either apricot pits, almonds or both.
The Slovenian Sparkling Wine
This Sparkling Wine from Silveri has spent a minimum of 8 years on the lees, ageing in the bottle before it’s disgorgement, it contains 60% Rebula and 40% Chardonnay grapes.
