Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1.5 oz Gin; 0.5 oz Kümmel Liqueur; 0.25 tsp Apricot Brandy; 0.25 tsp Lemon Juice

A spirit-forward, slightly sweet cocktail where juniper-led gin meets the caraway/anise bite of Kümmel and a whisper of apricot for fruitiness, brightened by a touch of lemon. It pours clear and pale in the coupe with a single lemon twist that adds aromatic lift. Worth ordering if you like crisp, herbal cocktails with a subtle fruit underpinning and a clean, boozy finish.
