1 jigger Gin

1/2 t. Apricot Brandy

1/2 t. Cherry Brandy

1/2 jigger Lemon Juice

Fill shaker with ice. Add ingredients. Shake and strain over ice into glass.

Note: I think it's like a liquid sweet-tart. The first sip is very tart, after that it quickly grows on you.

Attitude Change - Rating: 8/10 But only as a dessert drink.

This drink is very sweet and minty (as the Creme de Menthe should imply). Best done as a shot or double shot.
