Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
2 cups | Smashed apricot pits |
½ teaspoon | Ground cinnamon |
½ teaspoon | Ground coriander |
2 cups | Vodka 100 proof |
1 cup | Sugar syrup (see recipe) |
Partly fill a cloth bag with the apricot pits (available at most health food stores). Smash with a hammer, keeping shells and meaty centers. Place smashed pits in a 1-quart container. Add cinnamon, corriander, and vodka. Store for 2 months in a cool dark place. Then filter through a cheesecloth lined strainer and discard fruit pits.
Strain a few times until clear. Add sugar syrup and age for an additional 2 weeks. Recipe may require some finetuning and apricot extract can be added to offer additional flavoring.
