La Habana

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. But 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.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz gin
  • 1 oz apricot brandy
  • juice of half a lime
  • lime wedge for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Pour the gin and apricot brandy into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Add a few drops of lime juice.
  3. Shake well.
  4. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  5. Garnish with a lime wedge.
