Very nice. A perfect marriage of Apricot and Apple. Though it calls out to be a stirred cocktail I think shaking it with dry ice works a treat. Harry got it right!

Lovely flavors and perfectly balanced. Amazing how a recipe that is the same as it was almost 100 years ago still comes out so perfectly suited to modern palates. I think an orange twist is a nice garnish, and rather than add water (need to fix that typo in the recipe), I simply give it a little extra stirring time, which works just fine.
