Ginger-Apricot Bourbon

Not feeling creative with the name today, but this is delicious.

2 oz bourbon (Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond)

1 oz lemon juice

3/4 oz ginger syrup

3/4 oz Giffard Abricot

Shake all together with ice, a coupe would work but it's summer, everything needs ice right now. But the sky is beautiful in the summer here even when there are not storms!

This is so balanced, it sounds like a lot of lemon but there is 1.5 oz of sweet stuff and bourbon is sort of sweet too, it's full flavored.

Looks delicious!
My heart wants a single sprig of mint broken over that as a garnish. It looks amazing!
can't drink at the moment, but boy you make me want to make ginger Liqueur or something
- Oh, I feel ya.
  Ginger lemonade with tonic water is nice & complex, if you can have that much sugar.
  And we made earlier this week a really good non alcoholic drink in the blender, a riff on Brazilian lemonade. Coconut milk, sugar, quartered limes, lots of basil, a little mint and ice in the blender, not too long, strain through a mesh strainer and serve on crushed ice. There is a recipe on NYT but certainly something you could "measure with your heart" as my daughter says.
Very close to The penicillin. Just swap the apricot with honey syrup and you’re mostly there
Sounds amazing!
I'll have to make it, sounds like my kind of beverage.
Oh it's an ice cube. I was trying to figure out what the hell had fallen into your drink.
