Diy Apricot Liqueur Recipe

• 3/4 cup fresh apricots, pitted and diced
• 3/4 cup unsweetened dried apricots, diced
• 1 1/2 cups vodka
• 1/4 cup simple syrup, plus more as desired (see note)

1. Place the fresh and dried apricots in a clean quart jar and pour in vodka. Fruit should be covered in liquid. Seal jar and set aside to infuse for a week at room temperature.
2. After a week, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the fruit pieces, pressing gently to extract additional liquid. Then strain again through a chinois or a fine mesh strainer lined with a triple layer of cheesecloth.
3. In a clean quart jar combine the strained liquid with simple syrup. Stir to combine, taste, and add more simple syrup if desired. Store in sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
