History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2021 by Susanna McMahon, a keen amateur mixologist and 74-year-old grandmother who says, "This drink was created for those who think they do not like bourbon. The apricot brandy works magic on the bourbon, creating a most appealing drink. This is in honor of my in-law's fiftieth wedding anniversary."

Review

Vibrant in both colour and flavour with rich apricot and grenadine balanced by lemon freshness and charged with spirituous bourbon. Apricot, bourbon and lemon are a harmonious trio enriched with grenadine.

Great way to have cocktails and hors d'oeuvres on our Anniversary with The Anniversary. Slightly sweet, hints of smoky (but not overwhelming), and a touch of apricot. Everything works well together. Does make a larger cocktail than you think. Will easily fill a standard Coupe Glass. Enjoy.
