The Bitter Truth Apricot Liqueur combines the juice of sun-ripened Austrian apricots from Klosterneuburg with an apricot eau-de-vie that was distilled from the same fruit. Imagine fresh, plump, dewy, yellow-skinned apricots; now try the apricot liqueur from The Bitter Truth. The distinctive fruitiness and reduced sugar content of this apricot brandy liqueur is captivating, and is indispensible in many classic and modern cocktail recipes. Although it’s not quite one of your five a day, mix it in a cocktail or over ice, and it’ll be just what the doctor ordered. 

Apricot dominates with a smidgen of almond from the kernel on the nose. While on the palate, a creamy dried apricot flavour cuts in first, interrupted by the caramel biscotti mid-palate, rounding off with hot-stewed apricots once more.

Enjoy in a Charlie Chaplin, Pendennis, Apricot Spritz, a Yellow Parrot, or chilled paired with vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.

About The Bitter Truth:

Munich bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck were already experienced in making handmade bitters at the bars they worked at when they decided to produce cocktail bitters to supply the burgeoning revival of historical and craft cocktails. Stephan owned a large collection of contemporary and historical bitters, some of which hadn’t been produced for decades. Thus he knew what the most well-known bitters of the world, past and present, tasted like and was considered a specialist in the area. Since 2006 The Bitter Truth has been producing bitters using the classic method of macerating roots, seeds, barks, fruits, herbs, and plants in an alcohol base. The design of the bitters bottle refers to old medicine bottles from the 19th century and the label was designed with old-fashioned floral ornaments reminiscent of the golden age of cocktails.
