Citrus Fruity

Valencia Cocktail是一款以西班牙瓦伦西亚命名的果香鸡尾酒，以杏子白兰地、新鲜橙汁和香槟或普罗塞克调制，散发着充满地中海阳光的甜润果香。杏子的柔和甜蜜与橙汁的明亮酸爽在气泡酒的映衬下闪闪发光，是一款将瓦伦西亚柑橘之乡的阳光气息融入杯中的优雅饮品。

History & Origins

The Valencia Cocktail appeared in Harry Craddock's 1930 'The Savoy Cocktail Book', named after the Spanish city of Valencia, known for its exceptional oranges — a fitting tribute given the drink's dominant orange character. The recipe reflects the 1920s and 1930s taste for apricot brandy as a sweetening and flavoring agent in short cocktails. It belongs to the golden age of cocktail culture documented at the Savoy Hotel's American Bar.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet apricot and fresh orange with a warm, aromatic orange bitters note. Palate: Bright and fruit-forward, with apricot brandy's stone fruit richness and orange juice's natural acidity creating a well-balanced sweet-tart profile; orange bitters adds a sophisticated aromatic depth that lifts the drink above a simple fruit cocktail. Finish: Clean, slightly sweet, and refreshing with lingering orange and apricot.

Pro Tip

Shake vigorously to integrate the apricot brandy's viscosity with the orange juice, and use a quality orange bitters for the most pronounced aromatic lift.
