The Lucky Stone -- Variation #2

This drink is one I consistently return to, and for good reason. It’s a stunning example of how a few choice cocktail ingredients can create something special. The dry, nutty character of the Amontillado sherry and the rich Giffard apricot build a perfect base for the Irish whiskey.
