  • Amazing drink. That said, next time I make it I am goign to try it with a dash of Dashfire's Spiced Apple Bitters. I have a feeling it will turn it up to 11.

  • Outstanding holiday tipple. The creamy ingredients soften Fernet's medicinal edge, and its minty quality fits in perfectly. — ★★★★★

Habibi

2 oz Dry apricot brandy
3⁄4 oz Pineapple syrup
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
Instructions

Notes

A nice variation is to replace an ounce of the apricot brandy with an ounce of a flavorful white rum—Banks 5 Island, say.
