Review:

This gin laced cocktail is flavoured with apricot liqueur which is balanced and made more complex by dry vermouth. A dash of orange bitters and a light lemon zest twist subtly serve to unify all. (Go easy with the bitters and zest.)

Def better with a fresh bottle of vermouth. Quite nice but if you’re looking for something in this mode I’d prob go for a Joy Division instead.

I also went for a nice punchy gin, Cotswolds, which I think helped give it more kick.

I found the apricot overly dominant so bumped up the vermouth to 22.5ml, although admittedly it wasn’t the freshest bottle of vermouth. But i needed the extra dryness. Very nice and pushing 4.5 stars.
