Apricot Liqueur

Apricot liqueur is made by infusing or macerating apricots into a sweetened spirit base, producing a rounded stone-fruit sweetness with a gentle tartness. It is softer and less sharp than orange liqueurs. It pairs especially well with other fruit and citrus flavours in a cocktail.

Storage: keeps well once opened, store upright away from light
