Apricot Caipiroska with maple syrup
Syrup instead of brown sugar
A caipiroska with apricot pulp muddled with lime, and Amber maple syrup instead of sugar.
Since it's already liquid, it dissolves in the ice instead of settling at the bottom, and leaves an aftertaste that sugar doesn't provide.

What is needed
Serves 2.
½ lime, plus 2 slices for garnish
20 ml (30 g) of Pure Amber Maple Syrup
100 g fresh apricots
80 ml of vodka
1 sprig of mint for garnish
Five steps
Lime
Cut it into wedges and arrange them at the bottom of the glasses.
Pest
Add the maple syrup and muddle with a mortar and pestle or a bar muddler.
Apricots
Cut them into small cubes, add them to the lime, and muddle those too.
Ice and vodka
Fill the glasses with ice and pour in the vodka.
Mix and decorate
With a long-handled spoon, then an apricot slice, a sprig of mint and a slice of lime.
Why Amber and not Gold
You need a variety that can be felt alongside the vodka and apricot without disappearing: the Gold, being more delicate, gets lost here.
Muddle in two steps: first the lime with the syrup, then the apricots.
The ingredient
The variety used in this recipe. Amber, rich taste: it can be tasted alongside other flavors without overpowering them.
