I just love cannoli! However, liqueur tends to languish in my cabinet leading to disposal a few years later. Would adding orange oil or extract to the simple syrup be a good flavor substitute? (My intuition says a little almond flavor would work well with the orange, too.) Hi Becky, you can add either a few drops of oil or some extract to a simple syrup to flavor it. Orange or almond would be very good with the cannoli filling. ~ MaryJane
