Review

Apricot brandy adds fruity zingyness to what otherwise would be a Screwdriver served straight-up.

This might be a good one to add to the "Breakfast/brunch" Style?

Good shout, Peter. I have added to Breakfast/brunch selection.

Definitely a more interesting alternative to a Screwdriver. Nice option for a simple brunch cocktail. Easy to remember with the equal parts, too.

I'd reevaluate the rating of this drink. It is way too strong in terms of taste. Very little orange with apricot and ethanol dominating.

Simon Difford Verified User Premium Member 3y

Agreed, Chris. I've reverted to the original equal parts recipe but with a couple of dashes of orange bitters added in a quest for balance.
