Question: what is the difference between almond extract and almond liqueur?
Answer: Amaretto is obviously an almond flavored liquor, but the flavor itself is most certainly not as strong as pure almond extract. There is also a much higher alcohol percentage in almond extract probably 40% (call it 80 proof) while amaretto is in the neighborhood of 20% (40 proof). ... Amaretto has lots of sugar in it to.
