By Chilled Magazine
Whether you prefer it on the rocks, mixed with other bold flavors or alongside a decadent dessert, enjoy National Amaretto Day on April 19th, with DISARONNO.
DISARONNO has a lineage dating back to the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci commissioned one of his students, Bernardino Luini, to paint a fresco of Madonna of the Miracles in Saronno. To portray Madonna, he found his muse in a young innkeeper and to pay her gratitude, the young girl concocted a drink from apricot kernels and brandy, creating amaretto. This simple yet delicious blend became known as DISARONNO.
