Amaretto Vodka Peach Schnapps

No fancy name. Just a good drink.




amaretto vodka peach schnapps
This amaretto vodka peach schnapps is one of those Italian drinks that has a variation or two. I have another similar amaretto drink recipe which uses limes. It's called the Soco Amaretto Lime Recipe.

The melon liqueur or midori is optional add-in. I wouldn't drive around the corner or burn up a tank of gas to get it. But if you have it on hand add it in. It's just an added extra that will make your drink stand out.

While you are here see the list of the other Italian drinks on my site. They are listed down below. And while you are here, you may want to visit my home page of Italian dessert recipes.

Enjoy your drink!

Does it have to be peach schnapps?

Nope. You can get a peach liqueur of any brand.

Can I use store bought orange juice?

You can. But really there is nothing like fresh squeezed juices in cocktails. If you are going to use store bought - get one as close to natural as you can. No corn syrup added, no sugar added. Get my drift?

Do I have to use Finlandia vodka?

Nope. It's just my personal favorite. Any vodka will work.

Memorial Day and Warmer Weather Treats!



It's finally warming up! In my neck of the woods we had SNOW on May 2nd. Now were on to the warm weather sweet treats!

I started celebrating by having a Sangria last night. Sangria is so easy to make - and the trick to making it spectacular is - following the super easy procedure. IF you need a brush up see:

How to Make Sangria

As for Memorial Day Goodies - I bake the LESS sticky stuff if I have to travel. And something that the kids can grab with their fingers as they cruise by the dessert table and run off to their next game. Cookies and brownies work the best for this!

The past month, these are my top five most viewed cookie recipes:

#1 Anisette Cookies

#2 Italian Wedding Cookie Recipe

#3 Pizzelle Recipe

#4 Ricotta Cheese Cookies

#5 Meringue Cookie Recipe

Have a fun filled Memorial Day!
