It's a really fantastic, slightly off-dry aperitif in that incarnation. Highly recommended.davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01837409183913705068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-36745823906278098262010-01-21T15:49:11.962-05:002010-01-21T15:49:11.962-05:00Hmm... perhaps I should reconsider getting a bottl...Hmm... perhaps I should reconsider getting a bottle of Blume Marillen Apricot Eau de Vie. I opted to find a bar with it on the shelf so that I could have a Dulchin (it was on the Anvil's 100 Drink list).

I've been playing with Jeffrey Morgenthaler's Solera Club over the past few days: sherry (sweet or dry), Cynar, absinthe, and apricot brandy. Liqueur is called for, but I tried all factorial combinations of sherry and brandy. It's an interesting exercise, even if oftentimes there's no clear winner. Different drinks for different times/palates.davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01837409183913705068noreply@blogger.com
