Daffodil Driver

This week we are tasting and perfecting the Daffodil Driver as a tribute to spring.
Here is how we made ours:
                                    
2 oz apricot nectar
1 shot Absolut peach vodka



1/2 shot Hiram Walker Apricot Brandy
1/2 shot Grand Marnier
Orange wheel, for garnish
Lemon wheel, for garnish

 Pour ingredients in a shaker filled with ice, add nectar, peach vodka, apricot brandy, and Grand Marnier. Shake vigorously and strain into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with orange wheel and lemon wheel together.
Such a pretty drink

This drink was surprisingly not as sweet as expected.  The first sip had a bite, but soon mellowed.  I give this drink 3 M's on the Mmm scale.  As the week progresses we will try different ratios of our ingredients to improve it.
