The Pendennis Club Cocktail! a gin classic that tastes like a popsicle

A classic gin cocktail like the Pendennis Club is perfect for today! This drink balances bright flavors of citrus with an apricot liqueur. Brands of apricot liqueurs vary, though, so feel free to add simple syrup if you want it a touch sweeter. The ratios we're using today are scalable, and easy to remember (3,2,1). Hope you enjoy this recipe! Cheers!

Who's been to the Pendennis Club?

Do you one day want to make a video explaining the differences between your most used bitters? That would be awesome

[devinphillips]

I just tried this myself, using Ford's Gin and Luxardo apricot liqueur. I don't have Peychaud's on-hand so I used cardamom bitters instead. I didn't add any simple because I like my cocktails to have a little less sweetness. Overall, very light, crisp, and refreshing. Thank you for the great video. Stay out of the heat as much as you can this summer!

My boss was the head chef at the club for almost 15. He’s got some great stories. Can’t wait to show him this

[michaelmead]

Wonderful!

Thanks again to another great video.

Currently having a mule made with Plantation 3 star rum.

Cheers!

Was the "Garden Cocktail/BBQ opener/to have one on the veranda" for last summer. Was also my introduction to Peychauds Bitter. Is not replaceable by anything else on my personal list now, will be an alltime favorit forever. Surprised my friends and guests as well, something they didn't expect at all. Thank for letting me know about this!

You can shout over the cooling agents ... its ok. Here in the south we dont play with AC.

Between many of the wonderful drinks you have presented on this channel, along with many Tiki drinks I've discovered in Martin Cate's "Smuggler's Cove" book, I'm beginning to think I need to add Apricot liqueur to my home bar. Cheers, Anders!

I made this today! I pulled some lemon thyme from my herb garden to garnish.

[antonindufort-gagnon]

I wanted to do this cocktail but I lacked some ingredients to do it so instead I made my own riff on it and got an orange creamsicle-like cocktail. Here's the recipe:

1.5 oz of citrussy-flavored gin

3/4 oz of Galliano (vanilla liquor)

1/4 oz of orange curaçao

1/2 oz of lemon juice

2 dashes of Angostura bitter (might be better with Peychaud's but I don't have it at home so I did with what I had)

The result is very good, though the vanilla may overtake the rest so next time I'll try 1/2 oz Galliano and 1/2 oz curaçao

I had my first taste of the Giffard so many years ago it wasn't widely available in the US, or at least in WA state. Loved it so much I tracked it down in Vancouver, BC. Love, love, love it, and love a Pendennis, but never tried it using lemon juice. To the bar...

[PhilippTimokhin]

You always bring a smile on my face Anders! Thank you for your videos!
Don’t stop
Peace love and positivity!
God bless you, Az and your pup

[utsteinproductions]

Adding this to my faves! This is a refreshing, easy to drink cocktail. Used Botanist Gin if anyone was curious.

[claysimons]

Looks delicious. As a person that has developed a taste for gin, I’ve alway said if you can learn to like gin and tonic, you can learn to like anything.

[richmosley]

I added .25oz of semi-simple since I used the drier apricot liqueur you had mentioned. Really good cocktail. Thanks again!

[raxalot]

I wanted to make this but am limited so I swapped the Apricot for Peach Brandy. It was ok but I added a barspoon of 2:1 simple and it is really interesting.

[DollarDude]

I'd say one video per month with the A/C on is a fair compromise for all the great drinks you bring us, Anders 😅

[davidhughes]

Very nice simple thing to make for today. Used Rothman & Winter apricot with a good result.

[CF]

My favorite apricot liqueur is Bailoni- can be hard to find, but totally worth it- on the sweet side, extremely rich and fragrant apricot flavor.

[e.j.bosman]

Just made one myself, bought the Giffard based on this video. It is refreshing indeed!
My creation is more lemon-juice-colored tho, where yours looks, well, prettier
