History:
Created in 2017 by John Barraclough, London, England, who describes his drink as "a yellow version of Sam Ross's Paper Plane" that has "the perfume of a hayfield in late summer." John's original recipe called for 30ml bourbon, 25ml gentian liqueur, 15ml apricot liqueur, and 15ml lemon juice.
Review:
A zesty, bittersweet and sweet 'n' sour aperitivo to make you salivate. John didn't specify a garnish, and although a dried apricot doesn't particularly suit the name, it goes well with the cocktail (which, incidentally, we prefer served on the rocks).
