apricot liqueur

Cocchi Apertivo Americano

Plymouth gin

First swirl some absinthe in a glass, then pour it out. Next, combine three-fourths of an ounce of apricot liqueur, an ounce of Cocchi Aperitivo Americano and one and a half ounces of Plymouth gin. Stir with ice and strain into the glass. Spritz with lemon peel oil (by squeezing a zest of lemon over the drink) and garnish with a twist of lemon peel.

A good gin contains floral elements in its mix of botanical flavors, and the creme de violette nicely calls the floral notes to the fore.

With the addition of absinthe and mint, the drink takes on a refreshing mentholated quality.
