  • I added a Grand Marnier float.
  • Nice easy rum/sour. Used R&W and Dashfire lemon, 1/2 Flor de Cana 7 and 1/2 Angostura 12.
  • Excellent. I made mine with Cockspur 12 and Plantation OFTD. The lemon bitters balance the floral notes in the Apricot Liqueur nicely. — ★★★★

Comments

The lemon bitters complement the apricot liqueur beautifully.  I blended Cockspur 12 and Plantation OFTD for the rums.
