History

Bourbon and apricot pair harmoniously, mirroring the classic combination of sweet vermouth and bitters in a Manhattan. This spirit-forward cocktail is consequently delicious.

Jamie Boudreau created this drink in 2010 at Vessel in Seattle, USA. He refers to his ratio of 1½ parts spirit to ¾ part vermouth and ¼ part modifier as the "Mister Potato Head of Ratios."
