Creme de Noyaux distinguishes itself from other almond-flavored liqueurs through its unique base and coloring. Unlike Amaretto, which is typically made from a base of apricot pits or almonds themselves, Creme de Noyaux is crafted specifically from the kernels inside the pits of apricots, peaches, or cherries. This specific source lends it a distinctive bitter almond flavor. Moreover, its signature deep pink or red hue sets it apart visually from other liqueurs in this category, adding a visually striking element to cocktails that include it as an ingredient.
