Still a wonderful cocktail. After reading some of the comments since the last time we had it, decided to reduce the Apricot by 25%. Still get the taste of the apricot with a little more sour.

Made this with just a touch of grenadine. Very good.

This is an excellent drink, the flavours work so well together.
I used the original Harry Craddock recipe as a base, adding nearly equal parts (25 ml) lemon juice and apricot liqueur.
It might be too much for most people but i like my sours on the sour side. :)

Just realised that gin, apricot liqueur and lime, with the addition of Peychauds bitters = a Pendennis Cocktail.
