Sweetbird Amaretto Syrup

Description

Legend has it that a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci received the first bottle of amaretto in 1525 as a thankyou from one of his models. Obviously, we can't validate that story without a time machine and a trip to Saronno, but we like the tale enough to believe it anyway.

The distinct taste of amaretto has become a favourite and due to its Italian origin, it seems only fair that it gets mixed in with a latte. With its subtle notes of apricot and a classically familiar hint of almond, Sweetbird's Amaretto Syrup is sure to be a popular choice time and time again.
