Amarretto and Ratafia are both almond-flavored liqueurs. Amaretto is an Italian liqueur made from almonds, apricot kernels, or both, and is sweet and syrupy in taste. Ratafia is a French liqueur made from macerated fruits, nuts, and spices, and is usually served as an after-dinner drink. Both liqueurs are popular for their almond flavor and can be used to make cocktails or enjoyed on their own.
