What is Apricot Brandy Sour?
The Apricot Brandy Sour is one of those cocktails that feels timeless yet slightly underrated. Bright citrus meets soft stone-fruit sweetness, creating a balanced sour that’s both refreshing and gently indulgent. It’s approachable enough for casual sipping but refined enough to feel intentional, especially when served in a chilled coupe with that subtle apricot glow.
If you’re drawn to fruit-forward sours, this drink belongs in your rotation alongside classics like the Whiskey Sour and lighter aperitif-style cocktails. It’s a great alternative when you want something that feels elegant without being heavy. For another beautifully balanced classic in the same family, you might also enjoy this White Negroni, which offers a brighter, herbal twist on tradition.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
Why You'll Love It?
- Perfect balance of citrus brightness and soft stone-fruit sweetness.
- Elegant enough for dinner parties but easy enough for a quiet night in.
- Egg white adds a velvety texture that feels luxurious without being heavy.
- A refreshing alternative when you want a sour that’s not whiskey-based.
