Apricot Mint Sours Recipes

Steps:

• For the sour mix: Mix together the lemon juice, lime juice and simple syrup. Cover and refrigerate until cold.
• Muddle the mint in a pitcher with the sugar. Pour in the apricot nectar, gin and sour mix and mix until combined. Serve in rocks glasses over crushed ice. Top with splashes of prosecco and garnish with mint sprigs.

Steps:

• Place the apricots and 1 teaspoon honey in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak the apricots for 10 minutes to plump. Remove the apricots from the hot water and roughly chop.
• In a food processor, combine the mint, parsley, cilantro, vinegar, lemon zest and juice, garlic, adobo sauce, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, red pepper, remaining tablespoon honey and olive oil and pulse until finely chopped. Add the rehydrated apricots and pulse until the consistency resembles a thick chunky sauce. Cover and store in the refrigerator to allow flavors to come together and serve with grilled meats.

Steps:

• Combine 1 egg white, 1 ounce each bourbon and apricot brandy and 3/4 ounce each lemon juice and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker; shake 30 seconds. Add ice and shake 30 more seconds. Strain into a glass. Garnish with cocktail cherries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press crust into ungreased 10 by 15-inch baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Mix eggs, nuts, brown sugar, and coconut until well blended; spread over baked crust.
• Bake an additional 30 minutes or until set.
• While still warm, loosen the edges with a metal spatula. Mix together the powdered sugar, lime juice, and zest with a fork. Working quickly, spread the lime paste all over the top with a spatula while still warm. Let cool to room temperature and cut into bars. Cut 11 cuts crosswise and 3 cuts lengthwise.

Steps:

• Combine the onion and cucumber slices in a clean spring-top jar.
• Combine the remaining ingredients, with the exception of the garlic, in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 4 full minutes to wake up the spice flavors.
• Add the garlic cloves to the jar. Slowly and gently pour the pickling liquid over the onion and cucumber slices, filling to the top of the jar.
• Cool to room temperature. Top off the pickles with any remaining pickling liquid and refrigerate.

Steps:

• In a shaker, pour apricot brandy, lemon juice and Triple Sec.
• Fill in with orange juice (until half the shaker or the quantity you want) and add ice cubes. Shake.
• Pour in a highball glass.
• Optional: Add 1 teaspoon grenadine.
