Superb. The apricot comes through nicely.

Superb. The apricot comes through. Worth using a really good tequila as that’s there in force too.

I like this very much. The absinthe comes through but doesn’t dominate.

Fool that I am I failed to read the comments and made the same mistake of over-sweetening with 2 to 1. However we still enjoyed it and I shall dial down a little next time.

Loved this. Beautifully balanced and refreshing on a hot day.

Yes a little too maraschino-y for me. Will reduce next time. Good though.

Made for Eurovision. Slightly artificial but in a good way. Like Eurovision.

Okay I can’t believe I’ve never made one of these. Exquisite.

Yep this is banging.

This is, as the rating I have given it proves, exceptional. Especially if you add an extra strawberry.

Very nice. Worth adding a couple of extra raspberries I reckon so they cut through.

Very good. Didn’t have any ginger syrup so used some kings ginger and a little simple syrup. Fruity and smokey and refreshing all at once.

On the list. Works brilliantly. Wine lemon and Campari in perfect balance.

Very good. Hard not to overdo the grenadine (I find that a lot with grenadine) but went easy and the absinthe is peeking through nicely. Summer is here!

Made with passion fruit liqueur and a bit of straight syrup instead. Very nice.

I rather overdid the peach on this but it was still good. Made with the back cupboard bottles at the in laws so an emergency option. Happy I took the chance.

Magnificent. Made with Goslings (which is technically a navy rum I looked it up). Worth every penny second of effort. I just wish we had those tiki mugs.

Yes. This is good. All the rums.

Made with fresh pineapple juice - upped the quantity to 1.5 times, and straight monin syrup. Otherwise as instructed. Delicious.

Glorious. 5 stars.

Used kings ginger liqueur instead of ginger syrup. And only had Breton cider to hand. But wonderful. As John says, a real burst of flavours.

Lovely sipper. Though agree with the comments about sweetness depending on your brand of apricot brandy. We used Briottet which I would say is on the sweeter side so you could lessen the quantity a little.

If you are a person who does not love the hassle of egg whites, or has a partner who is peculiar about them, and therefore rarely gets to enjoy the taste of a whisky sour, then this is a treat. Actually I might like it better as the whisky, cognac and bourbon make an excellent throuple.
