Gin-laced with zesty citrus and rich apricot but made special and balanced by subtle quinine bitterness

Very pleasant indeed. I love exploring these vintage recipes. I feel immediately transported back in time to a different age. Had to do quite a bit of tweaking as only had the tail ends of orange and home grown Meyer lemons (hybrid orange/lemon variety) but I think it came out pretty well in the end. Added a dash of peach bitters for extra perk. One for the album.

A dash of absinthe and we’ll be in corpse reviver territory.

Looks pretty sweet as written so I increased the gin to 1.75 oz and the L'Aero d'Or to 1/2 oz for a little more bitterness, other ingredients unchanged. The apricot stays in the background but adds richness to balance the acidity and the bitter ingredients. Thanks for modernizing Craddock's old recipe; I'm surprised this one hasn't gotten more reviews.
