History
An apricot Margarita with herbal notes.
The origin of this cocktail is unknown. The initial recipe consisted of 60ml añejo tequila, 15ml Strega, 15ml apricot brandy, and 30ml lime juice. Feedback indicated this was excessively sour, leading to an adaptation in December 2021 to address these comments.
