Review:

A herbal apricot Margarita.

History:

I don't know where this cocktail originated but our recipe was 60ml añejo tequila, 15ml Strega, 15ml apricot brandy, and 30ml lime juice. The conscientious of option/comments below was that this way too sour. Hence, in December 2021 I adapted the recipe with said comments in mind.
