A NEFT Vodka Barrel and a glass of Spicy Apricot on a bar counter.

Spicy Apricot

A closeup of a Spicy, Spring Spicy Apricot drink against a dark background.

Whether you’re feeling sweet or spicy, this cocktail is for you! The Spicy Apricot comes together with a base of NEFT Vodka and both apricot and orange juices, rounded out with a touch of natural sweetness from agave. Then, you add a bit of spice to the mix with fresh habanero pepper or habanero bitters alongside a Tajín rim. This creates a sweet, fruity cocktail with just the right kick of spice cutting through each sip.
