History:
Originally named Apricot Mango Martini this drink was created by yours truly during the fresh fruit Martini craze that swept through London's bars in the mid-1990s. Name and recipe updated by yours truly in September 2014.
Review:
Just as it says on the tin. Rich tropical and orchard fruit, but not overly sweet with balancing lemon citrus acidity, orange bitters and underlying gin botanical complexity.
