Ingredients:
2 oz Cleveland Underground Rye Whiskey Finished with Black Cherry Wood
1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth
1/4 oz Apricot Liqueur
1 dash of Lemon Bitters (optional!)
Dried Apricot and Cinnamon Powder for garnish (or fresh apricot, if available)

Instructions:
1. Rim a chilled coupe glass with a tiny amount of cinnamon powder, just the top lip of the glass.
2. Add all ingredients (except the garnish) to a mixing glass filled with ice and stir until it reaches the proper temperature.
3. Strain your cocktail into your prepared glass.
4. Garnish with a small dried apricot, sliced to hang off the rim of the glass.

OPTIONAL: If you can find a fresh apricot, pit it, cut a full slice, and give it the brûlée treatment using sugar and a torch. Add a pinch of cinnamon powder (omitting it from the rim) and float it into the drink. Apricots are in peak season until the end of summer.
