Notes
Recipe creator bartender Matt Longueville of STL Barkeep says he really like to use preserved fruits in cocktails. "It’s the most effective way to use fruits that aren’t in season and you also can really control the sweetness. Start with a small amount of preserves and add until you achieve the desired level of sweetness. Remember, you can always add more to the cocktail, but once it's mixed in you cannot take it out."
