The recipe here is good. Lots of gin and apricot, with the orange smoothing out the edges a bit. Is the grenadine for color? Barely makes an impact on flavors. Another one I want to add a touch more sweetness too and top with prosecco. (18 Jan 2024, 7:45a)
I'm sorry that my first comment is less than glowing; my wife and I have enjoyed so many delicious drinks from your 15th Edition and this website, I really should post some,of the wins too.
This drink, flavour-wise, comes out a little thin. I wonder if it would be worth exchanging 1/2 an ounce of the gin for an equal amount of apricot brandy, or perhaps a 1/2 an ounce of triple sec to boost the flavour profile a little bit.
Many thanks for your support and input on this cocktail. I agree, gin needed to be reduced and apricot brandy increased. I've amended the recipe accordingly.
