Apricot Cocktail

Gin and apricot liqueur make a short two-liquid cocktail with a small orange-bitters accent. Although it contains no fresh juice, the documented method calls for shaking before serving up with a cherry.

Active preparation: 3 minutes

Ingredients

• 45 ml London dry gin
• 15 ml Apricot brandy liqueur
• 1 dash Orange bitters
• 1 piece Cocktail cherry, for garnish

Instructions

1. Measure gin, apricot liqueur and orange bitters into a shaker and add cubed ice.
2. Seal the shaker and shake briskly until thoroughly cold, about 10–12 seconds.
3. Fine-strain into a chilled coupe without ice.
4. Finish with a cocktail cherry and serve promptly.
