2oz bourbon

1oz Giffard Abricot

1oz Heirloom Pineapple Amaro

1oz lemon juice

Shaken with ice

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.

    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.
