Try it at 1.5oz 100 Proof Bourbon, .75oz Apricot Brandy, .75oz Suze, .5oz lemon juice.

Follow-up - the quality of the Apricot Brandy definitely matters here. The first run I made used Giffard Apricot Brandy and it was delightful. I skimped on my second batch and got a $12 bottle of lower quality brandy and it threw the balance way more in the Suze direction. Use quality ingredients for this one.

God yes. Dial down the suze and dial up the apricot brandy. It’s astringent. But good.
