Review:

Gin-laced with zesty citrus and rich apricot but made special and balanced by subtle quinine bitterness.

History:

Adapted from a recipe in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book. Craddock's recipe calls for two now defunct products, Kina Lillet (a quinquina) and Pricota (a British-made apricot liqueur).

2 Dashes Orange Juice.
