Apricot brandy lovers will find great delight in La Habana, a distant cousin of the Martini. It is a fantastic array of flavors, one that I like best with a classic London dry gin. Whatever you choose for spirits here, fresh lime juice is key and since you already need a lime for garnishing there is no excuse not to go fresh.
