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.

lisa gianotti I love sugar and I eat dessert EVERYDAY! Ok, not MASSIVE amounts. But I do have to finish off the evening meal with a little sweet something.

When I was a kid my health conscience mother would ration my Halloween candy. Her mantra was, "white sugar will kill you". But my Italian grandma always told me, "Everybody needs a little bit of sugar." :-) So, to get my October Halloween sugar fix I will make the traditional Italian cookie recipe, Venetian Bones of the Dead. Italians make these for the Day of the Dead on November 2nd. So - hey, our holiday in America - Halloween is the closest.

So - while the neighborhood is slamming down a bunch of gross mass produced candy on October 31st, I'll have a real goodie. Oh yeah, I'll have to post it too! (Eventually!) You know how it is. Work. Kids. Clean. Cook.



I'll see if Bones Of The Dead is in my grandma's first recipe file she started when she married in 1932. Most of the recipes on my site came from her influence. If they aren't in her file - then I got them from her friends. And the remainder I experimented with adapting her style.

I hope she looks down and smiles this Halloween.
