National Apricot Day!
The apricot, a relative of the plum and the peach, has been a food staple in many cultures for a very long time. This sweet, bright-colored fruit is packed full of beta-carotene, fiber, antioxidants like vitamin A and also makes for a tasty ingredient in cocktails! Check out some of our favorite recipes:
- Apricot Fizz — this cocktail is light, refreshing and full of flavor with rum and cherry bitters.
- The Bubbly Apricot — you can choose between champagne or sparkling wine to make this drink as fizzy as possible!
- The Apricot Haunt — grab the Courvoisier for a cocktail that’s sweet with a bit of a lemon kick.
- Apricot Stone Sour — a simple brandy cocktail with orange juice and sweet and sour mix.
- Oranje Firecracker — vodka and apricot nectar are the perfect pair in this cocktail
Apricot Haunt looks serious.
Gin, apricot brandy and a dash of orange bitters is the best!
Out of those, I’d probably go for the Apricot Fizz, but if I could pick any that involve apricot brandy, I’m quite partial to the Periodista. (Though I usually follow a recipe that omits the extra sugar.)
I would love to see an apricot drink with bourbon/rye……
