A classic gin cocktail like the Pendennis Club is perfect for today! This drink balances bright flavors of citrus with an apricot liqueur. Brands of apricot liqueurs vary, though, so feel free to add simple syrup if you want it a touch sweeter. The ratios we're using today are scalable, and easy to remember (3,2,1). Hope you enjoy this recipe! Cheers!

I'm sure it's possible to make your own liqueur. But the "eau-de-vie" is distilled so it's probably too strong.
Do you one day want to make a video explaining the differences between your most used bitters? That would be awesome
I'd say one video per month with the A/C on is a fair compromise for all the great drinks you bring us, Anders đ
I like this idea - cheers
@@AndersErickson that or do an ADR video once a month or something.
I just tried this myself, using Ford's Gin and Luxardo apricot liqueur. I don't have Peychaud's on-hand so I used cardamom bitters instead. I didn't add any simple because I like my cocktails to have a little less sweetness. Overall, very light, crisp, and refreshing. Thank you for the great video. Stay out of the heat as much as you can this summer!
My boss was the head chef at the club for almost 15. Heâs got some great stories. Canât wait to show him this
Between many of the wonderful drinks you have presented on this channel, along with many Tiki drinks I've discovered in Martin Cate's "Smuggler's Cove" book, I'm beginning to think I need to add Apricot liqueur to my home bar. Cheers, Anders!
I appreciate that Bill & Ted quote at the end
Best cocktail channel on CZcams. Keep up the fun and approachable cocktail content! đ
I actually have all these ingredients on hand! I know what I'm making tonight
You always bring a smile on my face Anders! Thank you for your videos!
Donât stop
Peace love and positivity!
God bless you, Az and your pup
Thanks, Anders! Can't wait to try this one. Always appreciate the history lesson before the recipe!
I made this on Saturday for my partner and I.. it genuinely is one of our new favourites! Not too sweet with no sugar, wonderful flavours from the apricot liquer and bitters.. what a treat! Thank you for this đ
That cocktail looks deliscious!
just lovely!!! thanks
Excellent as always.
Always good drinks! I love playing with the daisy template. Thank you!
Iâve gotta try this one!
Wonderful!
Thanks again to another great video.
Currently having a mule made with Plantation 3 star rum.
Cheers!
I truly enjoy your channel, kept coming!
I just found your channel, and I'm already really enjoying your content. I made one of these today using Citadelle gin, Drillaud's apricot liquor, and lemon juice. It was fantastic!
Simply delicious!
Looks delicious. As a person that has developed a taste for gin, Iâve alway said if you can learn to like gin and tonic, you can learn to like anything.
Love that glass! The drink looks especially tasty in it. đ
Just tried this tonight. Very yummy on a hot summer evening! đžđ
I added .25oz of semi-simple since I used the drier apricot liqueur you had mentioned. Really good cocktail. Thanks again!
I made this today! I pulled some lemon thyme from my herb garden to garnish.
Sounds great, gonna be trying this tonight!
Suffering for your art. Worth it for the drink!
Just have to get the apricot brandy and this *will* be added to the rotation. Iâm loving the Pegu Club since I first saw you make it..oh and got your hat from the merch lineâŠperfect too! Keep up all the outstanding work..!!â€â€
Every week I check out your videos, I listen to the stories, I educate myself, I feel sophisticated.....and then I go ahead and make myself the same old fashioned
Just had it last week at Scofflaw! It was fantastic! Keep up the great work!
Wow. Just made this. Used Bitter Truth apricot because thatâs what I have. Delicious drink. Thanks!!
Around 1,5 years ago I dive into the coctails culture, thanks to Anders, and now, finally, after all this time, I'm using the Giffard Abricot du Roussillon 2nd time ever :D
Trying tonight !!
Amen on the Plymouth Gin! I love it in citrus applications, or surprise citrus applications, like a Negroni.
This cocktail was delicious!
The lengths you go to for cocktail greatness! Thank you Anders! Now get cool!
Was the "Garden Cocktail/BBQ opener/to have one on the veranda" for last summer. Was also my introduction to Peychauds Bitter. Is not replaceable by anything else on my personal list now, will be an alltime favorit forever. Surprised my friends and guests as well, something they didn't expect at all. Thank for letting me know about this!
For the first time ever I actually had all the ingredients and was able to make the drink the day of video drop! đ
My wife and I love it! Thanks Anders!
I find that after following Anders for a couple of years, I have most of the Ingredients needed most of the time :D No Apricot Brandy though and am having trouble finding any otehr than Giffards "normal" Apricot brandy arouind where I live, considering to get that, or the Luxardo Apricot Liqueur, but unsure.
Can't wait to make this one!!
I am a very sporadic youtube consumer but have been subscribed to you for a bit. For what it's worth, your style and vids have evolved to a best in class status.
I agree, I didn't like gin until I had a French 75. Bombs away.
I had my first taste of the Giffard so many years ago it wasn't widely available in the US, or at least in WA state. Loved it so much I tracked it down in Vancouver, BC. Love, love, love it, and love a Pendennis, but never tried it using lemon juice. To the bar...
Thanks
I have never had a drink with gin in it that I can remember. This is very eye appealing; I would certainly be willing to give it a try
Dang it Anders. Just when I'm feeling a little bored with cocktails, you give me this simple and delicious drink from a neglected (by me) group of drinks!
Guess I'm exploring the Daisy category now! đ
Ah yes, the soothing sounds of blasting multiple fans in your house to stay cool during Chicago summers.
As a resident of North Texas I feel your pain. :) Back when I recorded bands in my house I frequently had to turn off my AC so it wouldn't show up on the recording. And of course, during breaks we'd have to turn it back on to keep from passing out.
Looks yummy. I need some apricot liquor
My girlfriends been getting really into gin recently, Iâll definitely need to make this one for her!
Party on, dude! Thanks for the rad vid. Crushed it
this is a really underrated and really cool drink
I wanted to make this but am limited so I swapped the Apricot for Peach Brandy. It was ok but I added a barspoon of 2:1 simple and it is really interesting.
Just made one myself, bought the Giffard based on this video. It is refreshing indeed!
My creation is more lemon-juice-colored tho, where yours looks, well, prettier
Yes another gin video!
I will indeed try it, I just need the apricot liquor
I love this channel
My favorite apricot liqueur is Bailoni- can be hard to find, but totally worth it- on the sweet side, extremely rich and fragrant apricot flavor.
Just made it with Rothmans and 7.5ml of simple syrup. Nice cocktail!
Anders that looks awesome but no one has to convince me when it comes to Gin. Yummy â€
Im here on the same day this time!
Im going to hold onto this. I love Gin and the lemon and apricot and pretty! Lol i think this would be lovely.
I've been loving that particular apricot liqueur recently, it turns regular ol' brandy into a fine substitute for the apricot brandy in a Charlie Chaplin if you have a light touch.
The Gin cocktail that converted me was the Aviation. changed my whole outlook on life. this one also looks great.
Aviation is my favorite gin (so far).
@@jsnyder4018I think John Miller was referring to the Aviation *cocktail*.
@andrewdessert987 I realized the same thing right after I sent it lol.
This looks delicious. Hoping one of these days you do a Q&A video. My question would be do most bartendars know all these different drinks? Most of them I've never heard of. If I went to a restaurant or lounge would the bartendar know how to make a Pendennis Club cocktail?
I'm gonna make this with apricot rakija. Salud!
Nice. Made that one many times. I prefer Luxardo Apricot
Love itđđ Can't seem to find an apricot liqueur I like here in Taiwan. Will have to smuggle one back from my trip to Canada in a few weeks đ
Living in Germany, where air conditioning is not very common, I actually felt it getting cooler when you turned it on đ
Thanks Anders! I bought a bottle of Rothman and Winter for some tiki drinks, so itâs great to have another recipe to use it with. Iâll add some simple syrup as you suggest. I bet it will be great! Stay cool.
So tasty!!
Freya!! Always a pleasure seeing her.
Your timing is wonderful. I just replaced my Apricot. Plus, who doesn't like a popsicle đ€·đ»đ
Cheers đ»
Hi Anders. Thanks from the UK for all the great content. A comment and request all in one. Your 'washlines' are always really spot on. Any chance of producing a video some time reviewing your different common glasses ? There capacities. Which drinks yoy use them for. Together with your ratios / measurements that would give a really good indication of the dilution your are getting and which drink best suits which capacity. Yes - I'm a nerd but I hate poring a drink that already looks half drunk. Just an idea for an interesting video; certainly for me and maybe others too. Cheers and all the best. Andy
PERFECT timing - I was wondering what else I can use my apricot liqueur in, and which classic to learn next! đ Cheers Anders and Az, another wonderful video!đ„
Another cocktail you might want to try with apricot liqueur is called a Toreador: 1.5oz reposado tequila, .75oz apricot liqueur, .5oz lemon juice, .5oz amontillado sherry, and a teaspoon of agave nectar. Shake with ice and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Cheers!
What brand of apricot liqueur did you buy? I've been looking and will probably have to get it online.
TO THE BAR! âĄïžđ„
I wanted to do this cocktail but I lacked some ingredients to do it so instead I made my own riff on it and got an orange creamsicle-like cocktail. Here's the recipe:
1.5 oz of citrussy-flavored gin
3/4 oz of Galliano (vanilla liquor)
1/4 oz of orange curaçao
1/2 oz of lemon juice
2 dashes of Angostura bitter (might be better with Peychaud's but I don't have it at home so I did with what I had)
The result is very good, though the vanilla may overtake the rest so next time I'll try 1/2 oz Galliano and 1/2 oz curaçao
New subscriber! Loving your channel so far. I looked through your Gin playlist and didnât see the âGimletâ. Just curious if thatâs a drink you havenât made before or not one of your favorites?
Looks delicious. And party on, dude!
The fan noise is not that bad at all! Great video as usual, making me thirsty đ
Adding this to my faves! This is a refreshing, easy to drink cocktail. Used Botanist Gin if anyone was curious.
Turned my gf over to gin with the bramble! Amazing cocktail and now I can't wait to try this one!
Very nice simple thing to make for today. Used Rothman & Winter apricot with a good result.
Oh good! I just ordered that Rothman & Winter from Binnyâs to make this later for my wife; glad it worked well. đ
I think is great cocktail đž đ
Hi AndersâŠlove a great story about the history of a drinkâŠ.beautiful colorđđâŠIâm going shoppingâŠ.you may put the AC back on!đđ CHEERSđč
You always speak from experience making most of these cocktails. But cocktail bars tend to have much more pared down menus. Iâm so curious to hear how youâve gotten so much experience making so many different cocktails!
Anders has been doing this for 20-odd years (and yet he is only in his 20s. What kind of devilry is this! đđ). That's a long time to learn, try, and experiment. And I suppose in order to be a good mixologist, you need to know the basics/classics, just like a chef needs to know French cuisine, even though he/she may not be cooking it (sure, there are exceptions).
Most bartenders I have met who were worth their salt said that regardless of where they had worked, they had studied, researched and tried cocktail history on their own before being in a place where they felt comfortable designing or creating their own drinks.
The majority of the cocktails Anders presents us are classics or modern classics and he throws in his own creations from time to time. Most cocktail bars build their catalogues on (modern) classic templates. You need to know the rules, before you bend or even break them.
I was at Le Lion (home of the Gin Basil Smash, or "cradle of..." as the sign outside it says) in Hamburg in the beginning of May and again a couple of nights ago and they had different coktails on the menu both times. All of them riffs on classics, some more obvious, others quite the departure. I wish I could have tried them all. Maybe I should move to Hamburg... đ€
Look's tasty.
Oh this sounds nice. Do you think apricot brandy would do the job?
You can shout over the cooling agents ... its ok. Here in the south we dont play with AC.
Party on Dude!
Delicious. This is the drink that the Cosmopolitan was meant to be
Pendennis Head in the UK is not far from Plymouth where that old recipe said to use Plymouth Gin.
Iâm eager to try this recipe but any recommendations for a smaller bottle of apricot liquor? It would probably take me years go through a regular size bottle of Giffard Abricot du Roussillon. Cheers!
Can you tell me where you got that gorgeous glass for the Pendennis Cocktail?
The Bitter Bear merch link is the wrong link.. also a great drink! I've made something similar with the Giffards Passion Fruit. Very Nice!!
Can you do a video on Palomas!? so many variations, do you use fresh squeezed juice or Fresca? what's the original and what's the most balanced?
It's good they put some other letters in the middle of that.
You had me at gin 0:01
Looks like the Rothman is in stock; at my local shop; how much simple syrup do you think if we go that route?
If I make this with an apricot eau-de-vie, how much 1:1 simple syrup do you think I should add for sweetness?
Louisvillian here. I was invited to the Pendennis once and failed to order this signature cocktail, although I did have a couple of Old Fashioneds. I highly doubt the Old Fashioned was invented at the PC but itâs a good story.
