Apricot brandy facts for kids

Apricot drinks are special beverages that get their unique taste from apricots. There are two main kinds. One type is made by distilling the juice from fermented apricots. This process is a bit like boiling water and collecting the steam, but with apricot juice! The other type is a sweeter drink, often called a liqueur. This kind is made from the apricot fruit itself and sometimes even the seeds found inside the apricot pit. Both types are known for their strong, delicious apricot flavor.
