Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
To maintain the original, balanced profile, the apricot liqueur’s sweetness should be the only sweetening agent used; avoid adding any additional simple syrup.
Preparation Tip 2
If a garnish is required, opt for a thin, delicate slice of apple or an expressed lemon twist to provide faint aromatic notes without overpowering the drink.
