BOLS Apricot Brandy Liqueur 70 cl

Description

Bols Apricot Brandy: Dutch tradition and creativity in mixology

Bols Apricot Brandy liqueur is part of the rich heritage of Lucas Bols, a Dutch company renowned for its range of liqueurs and its expertise in cocktail-making. This liqueur celebrates the apricot through a recipe combining fresh apricot juice, crushed apricot stones and brandy. The result is an amber-coloured liqueur that blends the juicy character of the fruit with deeper, richer notes.

Its aromatic profile is characterised by notes of ripe apricot, almond and cognac, complemented by subtle hints of orange. This combination gives it an interesting personality: fruity enough to add vibrancy to a cocktail, yet complex enough not to be limited to a simple sweet apricot flavour. The nuances of the stone, in particular, lend it an almond-like quality reminiscent of certain Amaretto profiles.

In mixology, this liqueur has its place in both classic and contemporary recipes. It can be used in a Mai Tai or a Zombie, but also serves as the base for an Apricot Brandy Sour, where the citrus acidity balances the fruit’s roundness. For a more straightforward tasting experience, it is best enjoyed neat, slightly chilled or over ice. Combined with orange juice or a sparkling drink, it can also be used to make fruity long drinks.

With its 70 cl bottle and an alcohol content of 24% vol., Bols Apricot Brandy is a versatile staple for lovers of fruit liqueurs, cocktail enthusiasts and bars looking for a classic aromatic ingredient.
