Disaronno Amaretto is gluten-free! (Thank you very much for the confirmation, Celiac.com). This is a really refreshing drink that although tastes like almonds, contains no almonds, but rather apricot kernels. It also happens to be nut-free, so it’s also safe for people with nut allergies. Go figure. Supposedly, the recipe hasn’t changed since 1525, which may account for why it doesn’t happen to bother me at all and sadly, virtually all alcohol bothers me.

Give this ancient liqueur a try. I think you’ll be surprised.
