Resolute Cocktail

The name of this drink sometimes gets stuck in my head. It just has a ring to it. But I've been putting it off for a while until I worked up the appetite for it. Not resolute.

Here is another one of those gin cocktails that are the signature drink of some club or hotel. And I'm not surprised that there's apricot brandy and lemon juice here. There must be a dozen gin drinks like this that use apricot brandy this way, just like there are dozens of variations on the Brandy Manhattan. Expect to see more of these types in future posts.

•  2 oz. gin
• 1 oz. apricot brandy
• 1/2 oz. lemon juice

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
