Very nice indeed. Midnight scavenger hunt for mint leaf proved successful. The apricot sits so nicely with the herbal and rich bourbon flavours. Will add to the retry/rotation connection.

The recipe says orange zest twist for the garnish but the photo looks like it has a mint leaf in it?

Very strong flavours —just what I hope for in a cocktail! All of the ingredients blend well together, but the union of the Becherovka and Génépy is awe inspiring. Sublime.
