Banana Punch

Pro tips

• Use fresh lime juice, not bottled, for better balance and brightness.
• Chill your glass before pouring to keep the drink cold longer.
• Pour the apricot brandy first, then vodka, then lime to layer flavors naturally.

Substitutions

• Mr. Boston Vodka → any neutral vodka or light rum (alters base spirit profile)
• Apricot Flavored Brandy → peach schnapps or apricot liqueur (may require slight sweetness adjustment)
