Five ways with Lyre's Amaretti

Traditionally, Amaretto can be made from apricot kernels, bitter almonds, peach stones, or almonds, all of which are natural sources of the benzaldehyde that give Amaretto it’s almond-like flavour.
When I first heard that Lyres Spirits had created a non-alcoholic take on the classic Amaretto, I have to admit that I was skeptical. But I needn't have been. Not only does Lyre's Amaretti nail the bitter almond flavour, it also has a distinctly liqueur like mouthfeel that is warm and indulgent.
Lyre's Amaretti has become one of my go-to non-alcoholic drinks. Sometime I enjoy a small measure as a nightcap and sometimes I use it as a mocktail ingredient.
In fact, there are so many options that I have put together my top five for you.
