Zubereitung von Italian Cheer
Drain 1 cup dried apricots and remove pits.
Place the drained apricots in a small bowl.
Pour 1/4 cup amaretto and 2 tablespoons brandy over the apricots. Gently toss to coat.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the apricots to marinate.
When ready to serve, chill eight champagne flutes in the refrigerator.
Place one whole marinated apricot and 1 teaspoon of the apricot marinade into each chilled flute.
Slowly pour 3 ounces of Asti Spumante into each flute, adding the wine in two stages to prevent excessive foaming.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint (optional).
Serve immediately with slices of panettone, pound cake, or chocolate leaf cookies.
