How Long Does Homemade Apricot Brandy Last?
Homemade Apricot Brandy can stay fresh for months if stored properly. It should be kept in a cool, dark place and away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
The cork or lid should be tight to prevent air from getting inside the bottle. It’s also best to store it in a glass bottle since plastic and metal can affect the taste of the brandy.
How to Know If Your Homemade Apricot Brandy Has Gone Bad
The first thing to look out for is a change in color. If your Apricot Brandy has gone bad, it may take on a brownish or rusty hue rather than a bright, clear color.
Another thing to look out for is a change in smell. Over time, the alcohol can break down, creating a sour or vinegar-like smell.
