History

This apricot liqueur-laced gin martini with balancing lemon sourness is not unpleasant.

Harry Craddock's 1930 book, The Savoy Cocktail Book, offers this recipe for the "Favourite Cocktail": "Favourite Cocktail 1 Dash Lemon Juice. 1/3 Apricot Brandy. 1/3 French Vermouth. 1/3 Dry Gin. Shake well and strain into cocktail glass."
