Cocktail Description
The Bourbon Apricot Twist is what happens when classic cocktail tradition meets the sun-kissed sweetness of summer stone fruit.
This sophisticated sipper balances the robust character of Buffalo Trace bourbon with the rich, slightly bitter complexity of Punt e Mes vermouth, while Giffard's premium apricot liqueur adds a velvety sweetness that doesn't overwhelm. Each sip delivers warm caramel and vanilla notes from the bourbon, followed by herbal vermouth complexity and finishing with gentle stone fruit sweetness. Remarkably simple to prepare, this stirred cocktail requires just a mixing glass, spoon, and strainer, making it accessible to home bartenders of all skill levels. It shines as an after-dinner drink during cool autumn evenings or as a pre-dinner aperitif that won't overwhelm the palate. The Bourbon Apricot Twist pairs beautifully with savory appetizers like aged cheeses or charcuterie, and its subtle sweetness complements dark chocolate desserts without competing for attention.
