It's basically the Hop Toad with lime juice, although I can't recall now if the proportions I use are those of the book, or my update, i.e. heavier on the gin. CUBAN 2 oz gin 1 oz apricot brandy (use Marie Brizzard's Apry, or don't bother!) 1 oz fresh lime juice There's a certain je ne sais quoi about a gin cocktail calling itself Cuban.

I've since found, and had great success with, Creme de Pêche, though (can't recall the brand-- French, though); but I ADORE Marie Brizzard's Apry. Hard to find, but worth agitating for at your local supplier There are so many old cocktails requiring apricot brandy, and like you, I’d wistfully bypassed them for the same reason– just couldn’t bring myself to buy that grim-looking fluorescent muck on the bottom shelves of the store!
