Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Chill your glass before pouring to keep the drink cold longer without excessive dilution.
Dissolve the sugar with a small amount of brandy before adding carbonated water to ensure even sweetness.
Add ice last to minimize dilution and maintain carbonation.
Pour carbonated water gently to preserve the fizz rather than pouring hard.

Substitutions

Old Mr. Boston Apricot Brandy → other apricot liqueurs or apricot schnapps (adjust sweetness slightly)
Sugar → honey or agave nectar (dissolve in brandy first)
Carbonated Water → ginger ale or dry ginger beer (adds spice note)
