Strictly Almond Amaretto?

Question

So I love amaretto... it's sweet, mixes well with a lot of other drinks, is great by itself, smooth... but I have a huge problem!

I am deathly allergic to apricot! Amaretto is an almond liqueur, but usually processed with apricot or peach pits (or has an apricot base), as well as other fruits.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a brand of Amaretto that is made exclusively from almonds, processed with almond pits, etc.? Or a brand that is fruit free?

Also, do you have any suggestions for good mixed drinks that are fruit free? Berry free too... I have 150+ food allergies! :(

Thanks!

You may have a hard time finding what you are looking for!  My sister is deathly allergic to nuts and has the same trouble with peach/apricot/nectarine flavoured foods and drinks.  It's because although almonds are nuts they are closely related to peaches etc.  Good luck to you!  What about a synthetic flavoured amaretto?  Something that has no natural flavourings in it?  May not taste as good though :(
