Pro Tips

🎩 Club History

The Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky (founded 1881) claims to be the birthplace of the Old Fashioned. This cocktail also bears their name.

🍑 Apricot Selection

Rothman & Winter or Giffard apricot liqueurs are excellent choices. Avoid artificially flavored options.

⚖️ Balance

The apricot can be sweet, so the lime juice is essential for balance. Don't skip it or reduce it.
