Brief Historical Timeline:

1525 - Bernardino Luini is commissioned to paint a fresco in Saronno, Italy, and his muse, a local innkeeper, gifts him a bottle of bitter almond liqueur she made as thanks
1600s - Italians routinely make homemade liqueurs from local ingredients, and the innkeeper's recipe may have been rediscovered by Giovanni Reina
1900 - Domenico Reina begins commercially producing what we know today as Disaronno in Saronno, Italy. Sold as "Amaretto di Saronno"
1942 - A squared bottle is used
1947 - ILLVA, the parent company of Disaronno is formed, entirely owned by the Reina family
1960s - Disaronno is exported to the USA and finds a receptive market
1971 - The bespoke bottle is created by glass artisans in Murano, Italy
2001 - The name is officially changed to "Disaronno Originale", relegating amaretto to the back label
2009 - A label update is made

Key Cocktails:

Disaronno is great on it's own or on ice, but mixes well. I'd recommend trying this recipe:

Disaronno Sour:

50 ml Disaronno
25 ml Fresh Lemon Juice
5 ml Simple Syrup
Egg White

Shake all ingredients with ice vigorously. Strain into an ice filled glass, garnish with a lemon wedge and serve.

Eventful History of the Mutiny and Piratical Seizure of H.M.S. Bounty by Sir John Barrow Loyal Books On December 31 1787, the HMS Bounty, a small sailing vessel embarked from Spithead Harbor, England bound for Tahiti. Her mission was sponsored by the Royal Society in London and aimed at picking up breadfruit plants and fruit from Tahiti and conveying them to the West Indies, where it was hoped they would take root and become a commercial crop. The Bounty was an old ship with a young captain and 46 young officers. The captain's cabin was converted into a potting shed for the expected breadfruit cargo. He was quartered in a cramped cabin next to the men. In Tahiti, the crew suddenly found themselves transported into an exotic land, rich with strange and delicious fruits and food, country made liquor and beautiful women. The easy and relaxed lifestyle enticed the Englishmen. As the date of departure neared in 1789, the crew seemed reluctant to leave. Tensions increased as the relationship between the captain and crew began to break down.
