French Connection
The apricot and almond notes in amaretto combine perfectly with brandy in this simple cocktail

My current favourite. I like to add a mist of absinthe over the top to enhance the 'nose' of the first few sips.

Dan, I shameless stole this idea and dubbed it the 'French Connection II' so I could tenuously link it to Poisson D'Avril in the April Fools day special of cocktail mode (where this website gets a mention almost every episode). I also thought it was fitting as the addition of the Absinthe gives it 2 French ingredients. Cheers!
