  • Made with Amere Sauvage and R&W Orchard Apricot. Agave/pickle freshness on the nose, white grapefruit along with apricot on the sip, bitter woodiness joins grapefruit on the long finish. Quite interesting.

Zachary Pearson commented on 11/19/2010:

It should be 1/2 oz apricot brandy - I change it in the recipe, but it keeps reverting to apricot liqueur for some reason. FYI, Suze tastes like a liqueur of chamomile, lime zest and new mown hay. It's sunny and warm and quite delicious.

Dan commented on 11/20/2010:

I added the ingredient "Dry Apricot Brandy" to distinguish high-quality, unsweetened, high-proof fruit brandy from Apricot Liqueur, which is sometimes called Apricot Brandy. I hope this eliminates potential confusion.

flemgem commented on 4/20/2013:

So this recipe has been up for over 2 years but I just got a bottle of Suze and this appealed... I followed the recipe exactly as the ratios looked great - but used Rothman and Winter Orchard Apricot. What a GREAT drink! Thank you! Going into my short list of favorites for now.

Dan commented on 1/30/2014:

Rather tart with dry apricot brandy. Added a tsp of apricot liqueur and it needed more. Less lemon?

mahastew commented on 1/05/2015:

Just mixed it with dry apricot brandy, tasted it and thought it couldn't be right, so added 1/2 oz Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot, which was a big improvement. From my perspective.

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Hendrick's

Delicious, thanks. I love the st germain/falernum combo in the ninth ward, so this was a must try. I used Hendrick's and velvet falernum. 5/5

Dan commented on 2/12/2012:

Posted as a guess at the recipe. I transferred authorship to the creator for him to update with the authentic recipe. Originally posted as 2 oz gin, 1/2 each St Germain and Velvet Falernum, 3/4 lime juice, 3 sli cucumber, 2 spg dill, splash tonic.

2 1⁄2 oz Old Tom Gin
1⁄2 oz Crème de Violette
1⁄2 oz Cassis
1 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Crème de Cacao

History

These are all the original ingredients but the proportions are my best guess.

  • Need to modify per comments
  • Love the idea, but quite imperfect. Too big to fit in a coupe and way too much violette. The drink ended up a murky grey with too much sweet from the cassis yet still tasting mostly like violet.

endless_optimism commented on 5/30/2011:

Nice balance. Use Hendricks for a less ginny taste. And a sweeter sparkling wine.

Dan commented on 5/31/2011:

Sounds tasty. I improved the reference and made the float, garnish, and instructions match the St Germain website's recipe a bit closer.

christina in tacoma commented on 9/14/2011:

I made this without the Champagne, don't like bubbles. It was a little sweet, so subbed half Campari the next time and it was great. (As an aside, I made the Bitter Elder and it was a bit too bitter, so I subbed half Aperol...). For me, this is really perfect when adjusted as described.

This is a ridiculous and wonderful cocktail. Nice and tart, great sweetness and color. A sneak attack. The St-G is under-pronounced; my only complaint. 4.5/5.

Zachary Pearson commented on 4/03/2015:

Curated this. Changed out Beefeater for Martin Miller Westbourne, removed Fee Bros. as the grenadine, all as per the link. Thanks, Zachary

Joining the chorus of voices loving this drink.  I made it with Ransom Old Tom, Broker's, and Hendricks.  Very lovely indeed.
