I have to say this is a terrible drink. And I like all the components! Unbalanced. First time I have really disagreed with Mr. Difford.

High octane without finesse. Jet fuel. I now pass on this one.

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.
