Celebrate National Amaretto Day With JB Hook's

Image
National Amaretto Day is observed on April 19 annually. Amaretto in Italian means "a little bitter" and is bitter almonds or apricot kernels or both. If no almonds are used, the marzipan flavor is produced by a combination of apricot kernel oil, burnt sugar and a variety of spices. To celebrate National Amaretto Day, JB Hook's is taking a look into the very interesting (and romantic) history of Italy's most famous liqueur. The Love Struck History of Amaretto Like many famous cocktails and alcohols, the history of Amaretto is a bit fuzzy and several brands claim to be the creator. However, there is one story that stands apart from the rest. Amaretto is said to be the love product of a widowed innkeeper. Around 1525 in Saronno, Bernadino Luini, a student of Leonardo Da Vinci, was commissioned to paint the frescos of the local church and needed a model to portray the Virgin Mary. The widowed innkeeper was chosen, and the painting can still be viewed in the chapel

Ice Cream With A Twist

As the weather begins to warm and we're getting closer to the boating season at the Lake of the Ozarks, many people are starting to get spring fever. While it may not be summer quite yet, we can at least pretend for a bit and enjoy some ice cream while gazing out onto the best view at the Lake of the Ozarks on our outdoor patio. What could be better than that? Maybe if that bowl of ice cream had an adult twist! Our talented bartenders at JB Hook's create incredibly delicious drinks on a daily basis. We have a fully stocked bar, which allows them to mix up nearly everything under the sun. Our bar also includes a vanilla soft serve ice cream machine that our mixologist uses to make many, many adult milkshakes.
