Cocktail Description
Sunshine in a glass—that's the Apricot Sunrise Martini, a vibrant cocktail that balances bright citrus with luscious stone fruit sweetness.
This sophisticated martini variation blends smooth Ketel One vodka with the complex orange notes of Giffard Triple Sec and the rich, authentic apricot flavor of Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon. The fresh lime and pink grapefruit juices add a perfect tartness that cuts through the liqueur's sweetness, creating a beautifully balanced drink that's neither too sweet nor too sour. It's surprisingly simple to make, requiring just a good shake with ice and a fine strain into a chilled martini glass, making it accessible for home bartenders with basic equipment. This cocktail shines at summer brunches or sunset happy hours, though its bright flavors can be a welcome escape during colder months too. The Apricot Sunrise pairs wonderfully with light appetizers like goat cheese crostini or prosciutto-wrapped melon, and its fruit-forward profile makes it an excellent companion to spicy Asian cuisine, where it can cool the palate between bites.
