Quite often you will see Rakia being sold in bazaars and markets up and down the country. All home produced they are made from various fruits, grape, plum, apple cherry and today I saw some apricot based Rakia (Кайсиева ракия) begin sold alongside a grape and plum based Rakia.I found an article describing how the commercial Apricot Rakia is processed, not brilliant English bit gives you the basics:
Made by well ripened fruit of apricots. Processed fruits, alcoholic fermentation and distillation are listed under "General". Apricot brandy alcohol content is 36% vol..Extract from "Production of household spirits, liqueurs and fruit wines" by D. Tsakov
