Cocktail Description
The Apricot Blanca Sour dances along the line between sophisticated elegance and breezy summer refreshment, delivering complexity without pretension.
This cocktail strikes a beautiful balance with the crisp brightness of Plantation 3 Stars white rum forming a clean canvas for the luscious stone fruit notes from Giffard's premium apricot liqueur. The dry vermouth adds subtle herbal depth while fresh lemon juice provides the necessary acidic backbone that transforms it into a proper sour. With its pale golden hue and aromatic orange zest garnish, it looks as inviting as it tastes. The flavor profile offers waves of juicy apricot followed by subtle rum grassiness and herbaceous vermouth notes, finishing with a clean, mouth-watering tartness. Perfect for warm weather gatherings or as an aperitif before a light dinner, this cocktail works wonderfully with Mediterranean dishes, seafood, or nutty cheeses. Best of all, it's straightforward to prepare—just a simple shake with quality ingredients and you'll have an impressive cocktail that suggests far more effort than it actually requires.
