Very smooth. So smooth. I think next time I will try it with cognac and 3/4 oz of the apricot, and once with a rye whiskey before settling the recipe. It’s balanced and delicious I just want to see if it can be better.
I just got a cocktail smoker; this sounds like a drink that lends itself well to being smoked. Based on how it came out, do you think that would make it any better?
Ooh could you try? Yes that sounds good. I don’t know if better, but definitely quite good. Maybe with the rye. Wish I had a smoker because that would make 4 variations, that is usually my test flight (invite 3 friends, make 4 drinks, split each into 4 very small drinks, have a tasting,then we have one round of the winner).
It might be a bit as I don’t have the ingredients, but it definitely sounds good and I needed something to try out the smoker with (besides the obvious, Old Fashioned)
Hey, it took me a couple of months but I finally got to making a (fairly modified) version of this. Just posted a more full write up in a post but wanted to share here in case anyone comes across the discussion. Couldn’t find the same apricot liquor (probably not that different though) or the same amaro. I used amaro Montenegro which from what I saw online is probably the most comparable amaro but don’t know how close they are. I didn’t realize the only bourbon I had was a maple bourbon so it added more sweetness but the smoking helped with that.
