Indeed,why not both?

I’ve previously posted gin drinks and apricot brandy drinks,so here’s a pair of recipes that use both.

Mix #58 Paradise Cocktail

1.25oz gin
3/4oz apricot brandy
1/2oz orange juice

Shake with ice.

This didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped. Very tart. If I were to make it again I would switch to tangerine juice and maybe add either some simple or passionfruit syrup.

Mix #59 Maneater

1.5oz gin
1/2oz apricot brandy
1/2oz curacao
1.5oz mango juice
1oz pineapple juice
3/4oz lime juice
1/2oz orgeat
3 dashes bitters

Shake with ice and pour into tiki mug.

This was quite nice with an excellent sweet/tart flavor and an apricot finish. Would drink again.

Don’t stay thirsty my friends,drink a tiki cocktail.
