Apricot brandy

Bottle of Apricot Brandy for use in cocktail recipes

Apricot brandies can range from semisweet, orange-hued spirits,  to ultra-dry, crystal clear eaux de vie (like Hungarian pálinka and other classic European fruit spirits).

“Brandy” is a term without much meaning in the spirits world, truth be told – it can mean a dry, barely-sweet spirit (like apple or pear brandy), or a syrupy, thick liqueur (think cherry and blackberry brandy). In our effort to standardize terms, we generally call the dryer spirits “brandy” and the sweet ones “liqueur,” and that holds true for apricot spirits.

Get the App

The Cocktail Party app tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have, and makes tailored recommendations about what to buy next. It's the best $3.99 you'll ever spend on your liquor collection.

Game Changer

This is a game changer. When you're at the liquor store, thinking, "Yeah, ok fine what does Ancho Reyes liquor get me?" you open the app, look up Chile liquor and see that it gets you like 11 new cocktails. This is addictive, and indeed worth the price. We're having a blast under quarantine. While some of the ingredients are kind of anonymous, the icons look like the Campari bottle, and the descriptions often tell you if Campari will work or if you need Aperol. If you <3 cocktails, get this.
