#Apricot (brandy) liqueurs ?
If the fruit is macerated in neutral alcohol (the base alcohol isn't brandy), does the 'brandy' term imply the distillation of the macerated fruit during the production process?
This category of liqueur is traditionally called apricot brandy, but most brands have now dropped the word 'brandy' from their names. Many of those based on neutral alcohol also contain some cognac/brandy.
This brand gives me fits. It's super tasty on its own, but a bit bloated. Seems to always come across too strong/dominant in any drink I make. There have been exceptions. Might be wise to tone it down in whatever you make.
Excellent liqueur. Fresh and dried abricot, not to mention abricot kernels (bitter almonds). Try a Pendennis cocktail, with Suze and pisco or just with ice. Should be perfect for tiki drinks too.
