Amaretto

An Italian liqueur with a distinctive almond/marzipan flavor; notably, many traditional and commercial amaretti are actually flavored primarily (or partly) from apricot kernels or peach pits rather than almonds themselves, which share similar aromatic compounds.

Almond/marzipan character (often actually from apricot kernels or peach pits).

Amaretto in coffee, or alongside almond-based desserts like biscotti, is a reliable classic.
