Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 dried apricots, chopped, plus 4 left whole, for garnish
One 11- to 12-ounce can apricot nectar
8 ounces bourbon or rye whiskey
2 1/2 ounces sweet vermouth
1/2 teaspoon angostura bitters

Steps:

  • Combine the chopped apricots and the apricot nectar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer briskly until reduced and somewhat syrupy, about 10 minutes. Pour into a French press and let cool to room temperature, 5 to 10 minutes. Then add the bourbon, vermouth and bitters; stir well.
  • Add ice to 4 rocks glasses. Place the lid on the press and plunge. Divide the drink between the glasses and garnish each with a whole dried apricot.
