Wow this one's a winner. Definitely four and a half stars out of the gate but by the time I was done it was a five. Last few sips were supurb. Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot holds it's own amidst Woodinville's 100% Rye Whiskey and Dolin Dry. Twenty four drops Angostura and just enough orange zest. ☆☆☆☆☆♡

Intriguing flavors. In my eyes, one of the more worthy showcases for apricot liqueur. I first tried this with Rittenhouse Rye, Giffard Abricot du Roussllon, and Noilly Prat. Something was missing. A few iterations later, I subbed Dolin Blanc for the vermouth (and Willet Pot Still Bourbon for the rye), without adjusting any specs, and that was the one.

This has made its way into our top ten list. Sometimes we use a mix of bourbon and rye, but it is better with good rye alone.

I still love this cocktail, but I’m always interested in riffs. Tonight I tried it with applejack, dry vermouth, and Belle de brillet pear liquor. Cardamom bitters, if you have it.
