Apricot Cocktail

 

 

2 ounces vodka 

1 ounce curacao or triple sec 

1/2 ounce fresh lime juice

1 1/2 teaspoons apricot jam* [avoid the apricot pieces and pulp.]

Garnish: dried apricot

Put all ingredients in a shaker and cover with ice. Shake vigorously to break up the jam and emulsify the drink. Double strain (to remove any solids and ice shavings) into a chilled 5-ounce coupe glass. 

An apricot is a small sweet fruit with a golden orange color. A ripe apricot can be recognized by its fairly firm skin, and it will be plump and juicy when it is at its best. The apricot has a delicate aroma and is an excellent source of Vitamins A and C. The apricot harvest usually begins in mid-May and lasts for around two months. So enjoy this seasonal cocktail and let me know what you think!
