Thirsty Thursday

Wednesday is "date night" at our house.  With our crazy schedules and non-unlimited budget, it is more often that not a "date night in".  We put the kiddos to bed and enjoy drinks and tasty take-out. My sweet husband likes to play bartender.  Last night he created this little beauty. 

A twist on the Tom Collins, it is sweet and sour with a hint of spice that makes me think of fall.  Even my creepy raven looks like he want a sip. 

To make one of your own, mix together:

2 oz gin
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp apricot preserves
2 dashes angostura bitters

Shake and strain into a collins glass filled with ice.  Top with tonic and a lemon slice.  Enjoy!
