A bright and elegant gin cocktail with a fruity twist.
The Apricot Blossom Gin Cocktail is crafted with Rock Rose Pink Grapefruit Old Tom Gin , bringing a lively burst of citrus to this refreshing drink. Shaken with apricot brandy, a spoonful of apricot jam, fresh grapefruit, and lemon, it balances bright fruit flavours with a smooth finish. Garnished with a grapefruit twist and basil leaf, it’s an elegant cocktail for summer evenings, garden parties, or special celebrations.
Apricot brandy can be made at home by infusing apricots with sugar and brandy, though it requires patience to mature. For a quicker option, quality apricot brandy is available online or in many supermarkets.
