Cocktail No 37 Lieutenant

Back to the sweet and strong. Bourbon based, the Apricot Brandy comes strongly though with that characteristic "jam-like" taste, smoothing out the sour mash. The other sour is grapefruit juice which is much more delicate and subtle than lemon or even orange in other drinks.

Very pleasant on a cold winters night. I don't think it would work as well in a hot tropical night, as its a bit sweet for me.

Recipe

Add 1 measure Bourban Whisky to a cocktail shaker with 1/2 measure Apricot Brandy and 1/2 measure of Grapefruit Juice. Sweeten with 1 teaspoon of Sugar Syrup. Shake on ice and strain into a Cocktail glass. Decorate with a cherry on a stick.
