Time 2m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ounce apricot brandy
1 ounce lemon juice
1/2 ounce triple sec
1 teaspoon grenadine (optional)
orange juice

  • Pour in a highball glass.
  • Optional: Add 1 teaspoon grenadine.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh apricots and mint will give your cocktail the best flavor. If you can't find fresh apricots, you can use frozen or canned apricots, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Make your own simple syrup: Simple syrup is easy to make and it's a great way to add sweetness to your cocktail without using refined sugar. To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
  • Chill your glasses: Chilling your glasses before serving will help to keep your cocktail cold and refreshing. You can chill your glasses by placing them in the freezer for a few minutes or by filling them with ice and water.
  • Garnish your cocktail: A garnish can add a touch of elegance and flavor to your cocktail. For this recipe, try garnishing with a sprig of mint or a slice of apricot.

The Apricot Mint Sour is a refreshing and delicious cocktail that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and it's sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new cocktail to try, give the Apricot Mint Sour a try. You won't be disappointed!
