quoting “The Columbia Guide to Standard American English”, “Darb is an Americanism probably nearly obsolete today, a slang word from the 1920s meaning ‘something or someone very handsome, valuable, attractive, or otherwise excellent.’”
It is a very good drink, arguably one of the best we've tried. It is well worth having again, being especially good after Auburn and LSU won their football games! Since LSU was playing Alabama, that made it taste even better.
The recipe (found on page 71 of our Bartender's Guide) :
1 teaspoon lemon juice (Meyer)
3/4 oz Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
3/4 oz Gin (Booth's)
3/4 oz Apricot Brandy (LeRoux)
Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. I garnished it with a slice of tangerine.
I apologize for the late posting; I got tied up watching football games until late last evening.
Sante.
