Delightful! The tartness was a giggly surprise. Perhaps a bit too tart but this could be on the lime, however nothing to take umbrage over. Gave me the snap up from your sip and exclaim “that’s good” reaction, which is always a joy to have. Love vintage/classics so while it was tasty, zippy and generally delightful it was also nice to make something our fore-tenders did decades ago.

Wow! 🤩. The flavours work brilliantly together. Fresh and zingy and lovely. Need to watch the lime, depending on your fruit. Final quantity was quite small, better suited to a Nick & Nora.

Note: I assume this is actually a stirred cocktail?

For some reason, I was expecting this to fall on the sweet or even cloying side of the cocktail equation but this is zesty and bright and perfect for a warm spring evening. The Luxardo Albicocca is just fantastic here-so fragrant and faintly nutty; it really helps to round out the cocktail and keep it from seeming too tart.

Luxardo Albicocca & Hayman's. Made this and the Right Charlie. This tasted slightly more tart and the gin showed through more. My wife preferred this version but I preferred the Right Charlie. Either way, they are both very good drinks.

I still say this is the best ever. I recently obtained a bottle of mulberry gin- looking forward to trying that as a variant.

This works really well with a red grape gin - I used grenache gin.

Great cocktail. Sloe Gin upfront with a nice citrus tartness that is not overpowering mid palate. Apricot is very subtle towards the end.
I used a Nick and Nora glass for a fuller presentation.
