Gin Blossom

What is Gin Blossom?

The Gin Blossom is one of those elegant spirit forward cocktails that seems to glow with its own personality. I always feel like this drink leans into a warmer, softer side of gin thanks to the mix of sweet vermouth and apricot liqueur, creating a silkier balance than you might expect. The flavors feel refined yet welcoming, almost like a classic cocktail that gently wandered off to explore a fruit orchard.

It’s a great choice when you want something that feels nostalgic but still brings a little surprise. The apricot note wraps around the botanicals in a way that feels almost cozy, and the orange bitters brighten the entire sip. If you enjoy classic stirred cocktails, this one might become a new favorite.

Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
