History

Apricot is balanced sweet and sour with faint red wine.

Adapted from a drink created in 2015 by Stuart Bale of 69 Colebrooke Row, London, during a visit to Thuir in the South of France. Byrrh has been produced there since the 1870s. When Stuart inquired about Thuir's famous products besides Byrrh, locals asserted their apricots were the finest globally. This led to Stuart's use of Byrrh and crème d’apricot in this cocktail.
