Another one of those “old flavors” tasting drinks, the Claridge will remind you of Jazz Age cocktails. Don’t be shy; the Cointreau and lemon juice will comfort the modern drinker. This cocktail demands cold, it just works a lot better the colder it sips. The Claridge goes exceptionally well with instrumental jazz or Big Band.

Here we go –

• 1 oz Gin
• 1 oz Dry Vermouth
• ½ oz Apricot Brandy
• ½ oz Cointreau

Gently shake with cracked ice ‘til the booze inside if freezing, strain into cocktail glass.
