Ciroc Amaretto Vodka

Ciroc Amaretto Vodka is a 70-proof (35% ABV) French vodka infused with rich amaretto flavor — the grape-distilled Cîroc base, made from fine French grapes distilled five times in the Cognac region, layered with cherry-almond amaretto and a touch of vanilla, in a 750mL bottle. Launched in July 2013 as the fourth Cîroc flavor varietal (joining Peach, Coconut, and Red Berry) in partnership with Sean "Diddy" Combs, it became a dessert-cocktail staple before being discontinued in the US — remaining bottles are now a find for collectors and fans. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Dessert Vodka That Started a Trend

Before flavored vodka was everywhere, Cîroc was building the playbook — and Amaretto was its fourth chapter. The concept was simple and dangerously drinkable: take Cîroc's smooth grape-distilled vodka and infuse it with amaretto's cherry-almond richness, so the bottle pours like a cocktail already half-built. It rolled out nationwide in 2013 at $34.99 and found its home in after-dinner drinks and dessert martinis. Explore the Ciroc collection and more vodka at Del Mesa.

Tasting Notes

Per official brand copy: the nose is sweet cherry and marzipan. The palate is rich almond balanced with lightly sweetened cherry flavors. The finish is indulgent and creamy with lingering almond.

How to Enjoy

Over ice with a splash of cola for an effortless amaretto highball, or shaken into a dessert martini — try it with chocolate liqueur and cream. It also sweetens coffee drinks beautifully.
