Instructions
Step 1
We wash the apricots. Freeing fruits from seeds. Transfer the apricots to a blender and grind until smooth.
Step 2
For liquor, you need to use spring water. But if it is not there, then you need to defend ordinary water for six hours, and then clean it with a filter.
Step 3
We extract the kernels from the apricot kernels, which we grind. For liqueur, we need no more than half of the crushed seeds, since a large amount will add bitterness to the drink.
Step 4
Pour water into a large saucepan (about 8 liters) and add sugar. Cook the syrup with stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove the foam when preparing the syrup.
Step 5
Mix the apricot puree with the crushed kernels, transfer to the finished syrup, mix and boil for ten minutes over low heat.
Step 6
Cool the sweet mass to room temperature, add vodka and stir. Pour the liquor into bottles or cans, seal it tightly and put in a warm place for a month. Shake the liquor periodically.
Step 7
After a month we take out the liquor and filter it through two or three layers of gauze. Pour the filtered liqueur into clean bottles, close with lids and put in a warm place for another 14 days.
