I think your name tag…said Gen-nay

Due to their unique and deviant taste from the more popular English dry gins, there are exceedingly few mixed drinks made from its older cousins, the genevers.  Aside from a random and relatively unspectacular old fashioned, I haven’t seen nor tried another cocktail using a Genever, so I decided to contribute something original to the mix, so to speak.

The Debra

2 oz. jonge genever gin (I used Genevieve)

1/4 fresh orange

1/4 tsp. honey

splash apricot puree/fresh juice (not from concentrate)

To a small shaker or mixing glass with NO ice, add the gin and a dollop of honey; swirl slightly, and add the ice.  Squeeze as much juice from the orange slice in as possible, followed by the splash of apricot juice/puree and shake vigorously.  Strain into a martini glass and serve with an organge twist as a garnish.
