gin & sin

2 oz Gin (Beefeater)
1/2 oz Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1/2 oz Apricot Liqueur (Rothman & Winter)
1 dash Absinthe (20 drop St. George)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a lemon twist. Two Saturdays ago, I opened up the Bartender's Choice app and came across Sam Ross' Gin & Sin that he created at Attaboy in 2017. The name had me confused for a second with the Sin-Cyn (and Cin-Cyn), but this was a "a slightly sweet and fruit take on a Martini" instead of a bitter Cynar drink. Here, the Gin & Sin welcomed the nose with lemon and peach aromas. Next, a lightly fruity sip flowed into gin, apricot, and anise flavors on the swallow. Overall, it was delightful to drink and reminded me a little of the Van Zandt from Jack's Manual.
