The "South of France". This cocktail, which uses a French apricot jam, is a wonderful fruity gem. The Cognac brings a nice pear note that pairs well with the orange and lemon flavors. I think this is a great year round sipper that can even be enjoyed as a breakfast cocktail!!!!

30 mil/1 oz Gin
30 mil/1 oz Cognac (Noces Royales pear liqueur)

2 dashes of Ginger bitters
