Walder's is a cream liqueur on a non-dairy base, OU-Pareve, so it can follow a meat meal. Two flavours, Vodka and Vanilla and Scotch and Coffee, $25.99 for 750ml and $14.99 for the 200ml mini. About 17 percent alcohol. How it compares with a dairy cream liqueur, and how to serve it.

Amaretto is the category; Disaronno is the brand inside it. The full name used to be Amaretto di Saronno, which is where the confusion started. There are no almonds in it - it is built on apricot kernel oil and seventeen herbs and fruits. 28 percent alcohol, OU certified, $39.99 on our shelf, and four things worth doing with it.
