Apricot Zing Collins

Cocktail Description

An unassuming twist on the classic Collins, the Apricot Zing delivers a perfect balance of sweet stone fruit and bright citrus that makes ordinary highballs seem forgettable.

This refreshing cocktail combines the rich, concentrated apricot flavor of Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon with freshly squeezed orange and lime juices, all topped with effervescent club soda. The result is a tangy, fruit-forward sipper with just enough sweetness to balance the citrus punch, while the soda adds a pleasant fizz that dances across your palate. It's remarkably simple to make—just a quick shake of the first three ingredients before topping with soda—making it accessible even for novice home bartenders. Perfect for warm afternoons or as a pre-dinner aperitif, the Apricot Zing Collins shines at summer gatherings, brunch service, or anytime you want something light yet flavorful. This versatile cocktail pairs beautifully with light seafood dishes, grilled chicken, Mediterranean appetizers, or fruit-based desserts.
