Apricot Fizz

A nice little quaff for a warm afternoon. A tip: use a high-quality apricot brandy or eau-de-vie; the swill sold on the bottom shelf of supermarkets and liquor stores tastes like industrial paint thinner.

Ingredients
- 2½ parts Apricot liqueur
- ¾ part Lemon juice
- 3 part Sparkling water
Instructions
Shake the apricot brandy and lemon juice with ice, and strain into an ice-filled glass. Top with sparkling water. The size of the glass and the amount of sparkling water you use depend on your taste entirely, so experiment!
