  • Great "new classic" drink. I've had very good results with a sweet apricot liqueur and a dry vermouth as well.
  • At Clover Club I gof if with an orange twist. I think it'd be better with pisco (which loves apricot) rather than gin.

Comments

Curated a little: Swapped out Apricot liqueur and its note calling for Marillenbrand for the ingredient "Dry Apricot Brandy"

Martin Doudoroff's Modern Classics cocktail app specifies 1.5 oz vermouth rather than .75 oz. As that's a lot of vermouth and the Food & Wine recipe seems more in line with what I've had at Clover Cluv, I'm leaving it at .75 oz vermouth for now.
