missed deadline

3/4 oz Laird's Bonded Apple Brandy
3/4 oz Apricot Liqueur (Rothman & Winter)
3/4 oz Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
3/4 oz Lemon Juice

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Two Thursdays prior, I returned to the online recipe flashcards for Ward 8 in Boston and decided on the Missed Deadline. On paper, it read to me like an equal parts apple-lemon Periodista, and my blog searching showed that the closest with lemon has been the 1937 Canadian Glory with Canadian whisky. Once shaken and strained, the Missed Deadline found the nose with a lemon oil over orange and apricot bouquet. Next, lemon and orchard fruit notes on the sip stepped aside for apple, apricot, orange peel, and tart lemon flavors on the swallow.
