Type
Liqueurs, fruit-flavored
Description
Generic for liqueur, brandy-based, with natural and/or artificial apricot flavoring & coloring. Notable brands are Marie Brizard's Apry and Garnier's Abricotine. In older texts, the term "apricot brandy" most often referred to this apricot liqueur rather than an apricot eau de vie - which would've been a more correct meaning for the term. One of the earliest fruit liqueurs produced, probably because apricots could be so successfully dried and therefore required no refrigeration.
