Other Ingredients you will need to add

How to make:
To make 1.5 Litres of zero carb, zero sugar Amaretto Liqueur, simply
1) Take 365ml hot 60°C water (Hint: do not use boiling 100°C water)
2) Slowly add 320g Liqueur base pack contents while stirring with a whisk/stick blender.
3) Rest the base 15 mins, before adding the 50ml Top Shelf Amaretto Flavour bottle.
4) If making an alcoholic version, slowly stir in 850ml of 40% ABV Vodka.
5) Then top up with cold water to 1.5 Litres if required.
In case you were wondering, yes due to the hydration of the base mixture, this combination makes more ml of liqueur than the back of the flavour bottle indicates.
