📜 History

Pistachio pudding, with its distinctive green color and unique nutty-sweet flavor, became popular in the 1970s. Pairing it with amaretto enhances the nut flavor profile, creating an elegant pudding shot that stands out from more common flavors. It is particularly popular at Italian-themed gatherings.
