The Art of the Mix Drink: The After Dinner Cocktail

The After Dinner Cocktail
1 oz. Old Mr. Boston Apricot Flavored Brandy
1 oz. Curacao
Juice of 1 Lime
Stir well with cracked ice and strain into 3 oz. cocktail glass. Leave lime in glass

This was the first real home run I hit in the book. The sweet of the Curacao and the sower of the lime blend great and the Apricot slant to the brandy truly gives it an after dinner feel. I feel I should make note that when these recipe's call for Old Mr. Boston, I'm usually finding an equivalent as Mr. Boston doesn't get around as much as he used to. As for the lime. I do fresh when I can and even picked up a small hand juicer for limes and lemons. The After Dinner will definitely make the final list.
