3. Seltzer Version

• 1 drop Brewch Lemonade (accent)
• 8 oz / 240 ml cold sparkling water
• Garnish: Lemon twist and a thyme sprig

3. Garnish and serve immediately.

Seltzer dosing: 3-5 drops primary per 8 oz glass; add accents 1 drop at a time.

4. Why It Works

Apricot is a soft, honeyed stone fruit that can disappear in a busy drink, so a clean spritz is the perfect frame. Lemon sharpens it, gin adds a botanical lift, and the bubbles carry that delicate orchard aroma straight to the nose.

5. Pro Tip

A sprig of fresh thyme bridges apricot's honeyed sweetness with a savory herbal note - it makes the spritz taste like a garden in late June.
