Cocktail Description
Sweet golden apricot and aged rum mingle in this elegant twist on the classic Martini, offering sophistication without pretense.
The Yacht Club balances the rich vanilla and oak notes of Havana Club Añejo with the bright, luscious stone fruit flavors of Giffard's premium apricot liqueur. Sweet vermouth rounds everything out with subtle herbal complexity and a touch of caramel sweetness. This cocktail delivers a silky mouthfeel with just enough structure from the rum to keep it from veering into dessert territory. Perfect for early evening gatherings or as an after-dinner alternative to heavier digestifs, the Yacht Club makes an impressive yet approachable choice for entertaining guests. Thankfully, it's remarkably simple to prepare—just stir, strain, and garnish with a lemon twist that adds a subtle citrus aroma. Try pairing it with tapas-style appetizers featuring manchego cheese, marcona almonds, or dishes with Mediterranean spices that complement the apricot's natural affinity for cardamom and saffron notes.
