From the Bartender

Feel free to customize the recipe to your preference. While the recipe suggests a specific amount of simple syrup for balance, we recommend tasting and adjusting. Try preparing it without the simple syrup first, and then add it gradually to achieve your desired sweetness.

Peach Liqueur

Peachy

Sweet and intensely fruity, with a distinct flavor of peach candy.

Brandy

Brandy Crusta

Spirit-forward and elegantly complex, with rich brandy fruit at the core, brightened by tart lemon, floral maraschino, and a whisper of orange. The sugared crust and aromatic bitters frame each sip with sweet, spiced depth.

Apricot liqueur

Charlie Chaplin Cocktail

A vivid sweet-sour interplay of jammy stone fruit and wild berry from the sloe gin and apricot liqueur, lifted by a crisp, zesty lime tartness that keeps each sip refreshing and clean on the finish.

White rum

Apricot Lady

Lusciously fruity and citrusy with velvety apricot sweetness balanced by bright lemon tartness and a whisper of orange zest. The egg white lends a silky, frothy texture that softens the acidity and leaves a delicate stone fruit finish.
