Almond essence (7)

I believe the answer is:

ratafia

(Other definitions for ratafia that I've seen before include "Almond biscuit/liqueur" , "Cordial" , "Almond flavouring essence" , "Kind of liqueur" , "Brandy liqueur with almonds or peach, apricot or cherry kernels" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
