Since I use “why not?” as my standard answer when offered almost any libation, I knew I had to try this one when I came across it in an old recipe book. I’m an apricot Brandy fan and am starting to figure out that this spirit is ripe for a comeback, seeing how popular and called for it once was. Apricot brandy must have been a bar “must have” back in the day, it’s asked for in a lot of old cocktails..

Here we go –

• 1 oz Gin
• 1 oz Dry Vermouth
• ¾ oz Apricot Brandy
• 2-3 dashes Lemon Juice

Shake with ice in a shaker, strain cold into cocktail glass.
