This lasts for-EVER if used sparingly~I use it in place of Vanilla extract in all my recipes ;)

If you are into coffee, and like to mess with it like I do (to the point of where is just chockit milk with java flavoring) try Land'o Lakes Peppermint mocha half n half-its on sale at Frank's right now for .99 a pint, about the same as if you buy a quart of plain, only betterer~

Would make a kick@$$ chocklit martini~ Godiva Liqueur, move over!!!!

I'm going to use this in my next batch of Biscotti!!!

Amaretto sat for 4 weeks, our neighbor brought over some Disaronno® Originale and we did a taste test~ MANUFIQUE the two were indistinquishable!!! BOOOOOOOOOOYAHHHHHHH!

I used it in my last batch of Biscotti, in place of vanilla extract, it was supremo~ Not enough liquore to even mention the fact but what a nice alternative and way cheaper than extracts....I used a whole bottle of almond extract to make the 6 cups of amaretto but will go miles to making Biscotti as well as countless other recipes that call for vanilla.
