264. Paradise Cocktail



My interpretation:
  1.25 oz Rothman & Winter Apricot Liqueur
  0.75 oz Aria American Dry Gin

Shake with broken ice 20 seconds, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This simple dessert Duo, emphasizing the fruit brandy, appears in Straub 1913 before showing up in JM 1916. The Barflies & Cocktails (1927) has the recipe with the addition of orange juice in three equal parts (pushing it toward a brunch or lunch tipple). The Savoy Cocktail Book (1930) doubles the gin over the apricot and OJ and adds a dash of lemon juice. The addition of citrus in other books reimagines the Paradise as a sort of blossom or punch.
