Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Chill your glass before serving to keep the drink cold longer and prevent premature dilution.
Dissolve the powdered sugar completely in the brandy before adding carbonated water to ensure even sweetness.
Add carbonated water last and stir gently to maintain maximum carbonation and fizz.
Use fresh, high-quality carbonated water rather than flat soda to preserve the refreshing quality of the drink.

Substitutions

Old Mr. Boston Apricot Brandy → Apricot schnapps or apricot liqueur (adjust sweetness as needed)
Powdered Sugar → Simple syrup or honey (use 1/4–1/2 tsp to maintain balance)
Carbonated Water → Club soda or tonic water (tonic will add quinine bitterness)
