In order to keep your amaretto in peak quality, store it somewhere dry and dark, away from heat sources and sunlight. The pantry or a liquor cabinet works just fine. Many people like to drink amaretto chilled.
If this is you, you may want to refrigerate it. However, it is not necessary to keep amaretto in the fridge. The main thing to remember about storing amaretto is to keep it properly sealed. Exposure to oxygen is what makes amaretto begin to change in flavor, so avoid that as much as possible in order to keep its quality for longer.
The main cause of deterioration of amaretto is oxidation. If you really want to maintain the quality of your amaretto for as long as possible, you could decant it into a smaller bottle when a significant amount has been drunk.
This will limit its exposure to oxygen. Another factor is temperature fluctuations. If you have a little Marsala or Madeira wine as an after-dinner drink, tuck it away in the fridge afterward. The good news is that if you use that same Marsala to cook chicken Marsala with later, you'll have a little wiggle room to let it sit for a month or two in the fridge. The flavor just won't be as bright. The same rule applies to that bottle of white wine sitting in the fridge for a few weeks—use it for clam sauce if it hasn't turned!
French Lillet is a smoother, floral, citrusy aperitif that you can drink on its own or in a Bond-approved Vesper martini , while Italian Cocchi Americano is more bitter and better paired simply with club soda and orange.
No matter which you prefer in your Corpse Reviver No. Montagano recommends either over ice with a lemon twist. Alternatively, Cocchi Rosa , the red-wine-based aperitif, will last longer than the white varietal. Spike that eggnog —then put the cream liqueur in the fridge! Spike your eggnog with Baileys or Kahlua, put it in the fridge. As we already said that amaretto lasts for an indefinite time but there is still some time limit in which you can enjoy the best quality and flavor of your amaretto but again it is all a matter of your taste preference, how you like your amaretto to be.
Some people even claim that an opened amaretto bottle begins to gradually lose its best quality after 6 months, but again it is your particular taste preference that decides how long you are going to use your opened amaretto bottle. When it comes to refrigeration, then there is no need to refrigerate amaretto if the only reason behind refrigeration is to prolong its shelf life because a properly stored amaretto lasts almost indefinitely even if stored in the pantry but if the reason behind refrigeration is to chill your amaretto so that you can gulp down a chilled amaretto then you can go ahead.
It is worth mentioning that these figures are just the estimated shelf life of the amaretto and amaretto lasts almost indefinitely, provided that it is stored properly. It is the time during which you can enjoy the peak quality and flavor of amaretto but you can still use amaretto that is past this date as long as it was stored properly. Once you open your bottle of amaretto, you will notice that its flavor starts to fade slowly with time. The two factors that are responsible for this gradual change are oxygen and the volatility of alcohol.
Do these really all need to be in here? This is probably true. I have a lot of vermouth in my fridge what can I say, I like to try all the different brands.
Spirits like whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, etc. And most liqueurs also have a satisfactorily high alcohol content, as well as sugar that also helps to keep the flavors preserved. Whether sweet, dry, or blanc, vermouth is made from a base of wine, infused with wormwood and other herbs, and fortified with a little hit of high-proof alcohol.
A whole world of spiced fortified wines that are less well-known than vermouth exists. And because of the wine base, the same rules apply. This includes sherry and port, Madeira, and Marsala.
