I've got both Remy's Eau de vi, and also an Apricot Liqueur. So I'm contemplating doing a "field mix" as there is no "real" Apricot Eau de vi in the region. Any suggestions as to a blend? Barspoon Liqueur and the rest, the straight Eau de vi? Something like that?

History note: The classic film "The Philadelphia Story" from 1940 has Carey Grant delivering the line. A much better film and a more boozy storyline.

It's a big step up in flavor and depth, for not much more money, from the "standard" Jameson or Bushmills. This is now my standard Irish for cocktails. I save the "big 12-year" ones, such as Redbreast, for neat drinks.

Only way to go. Superb drink. I vary the simple syrup based on the dryness of the champagne.
