The Mooch

Simple, light, and classic tasting, The Mooch isn't a burden. In fact, you'll enjoy having one of these on a hot day to cool and relax you on the porch.

Apricot brandy, even inexpensive apricot flavored brandies, have such an outsized effect on a cocktail's profile. It is almost hard to identify the flavor, but it is exotic and welcome when we are feeling tired of the predictable vodka and soda.

• 2 oz. apricot brandy
• lemon-lime soda
• lemon and lime slices

Add ice and apricot brandy to a Collins glass. Top with lemon-lime soda and garnish with the fruit slices.
