Peach Brandy

Peach brandy, despite the name, is typically a peach-flavoured fruit liqueur made with a brandy base rather than a true distilled fruit spirit, offering rounded stone-fruit sweetness similar to apricot liqueur. It is softer and sweeter than a true eau-de-vie style peach brandy. It adds peach character to shaken and built cocktails.

Buying & storage

Keeps more or less indefinitely: Alcohol is preserving it. An open bottle keeps for a very long time, though aromatics do fade slowly.

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