# h1$ @lizelle ADSactly Food - Gifts from the Heart, Gifts From the Kitchen 2019 - Boozy Fruity Flavourburst
Fancy a tipple or two?
Expect an explosion of flavour with these boozy fruity gifts that come straight from the kitchen!
Today's boozy fruity gifts are super easy to make:
**BRANDIED APRICOTS** or some would call it Drunken Apricots - delicious served on Ice Cream.
and
**GOLDEN HONEY INFUSED ORANGE LIQUEUR** an indulgent flavour burst - savour it slowly to appreciate the subtle honey & cloves with strong overtones of Orange and Lemon rind in a good Brandy.

**A WORD OF WARNING**
If more than a tipple or two is taken, getting behind the wheel could end badly, so please be responsible this festive season!
