Aqueduct Cocktail


Tonight I traveled to page no. 35 of our Bartender's Guide for an 'Aqueduct Cocktail'.

The recipe:

1 1/2 oz. Vodka (the Russian variety I've been using)
1 1/2 teaspoon Curacao (white) - Marie Brizard
1 1/2 teaspoon Apricot Brandy - LeRoux
1 tablespoon Lime Juice

Combine and shake all ingredients and strain into cocktail glass. Add twist of orange peel.

I skipped the garnish.

The drink was OK but almost overpowered by the lime juice; not one I would reorder if I were paying for it! However, I did follow it up with a single malt scotch (with water) - a Glen Fiddich, Solara Reserve. Now it was very good.
