Babbie's Special Cocktail:
- 1 1/2 oz. Apricot brandy
- 1/2 oz. sweet cream
- 1/4 tsp. gin
I think I'm finding that I'm not a huge fan of cream in cocktails. Not that it's bad, or doesn't serve an important purpose; it definitely does! Cream adds a huge textural element that would just not be present without it. It's just so...heavy.
That said, in this drink, it kind of works....at least as well as the rest of the cocktail works. The gin probably might as well not even be there. It probably would work with a slightly less assertive Apricot brandy, where the little hint of gin would actually add something, but it's pretty lost here. This cocktail isn't awful, I just think it could be improved with a bit more gin.
