Review:
Far from being my favourite but this apricot liqueur-laced gin martini with a splash of balancing lemon sourness is not bad.

Adapted from a recipe in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book:
"Favourite Cocktail
1 Dash Lemon Juice.
1/3 Apricot Brandy.
1/3 French Vermouth.

Shake well and strain into cocktail glass."
