1st #cocktail of #FridayNightCocktails on 20th January: Spitfire

We asked one of our regulars for a preferred ingredient last week and got “peach liqueur” as the request; all three cocktails this week include a peach liqueur/schnapps as one of the ingredients. Despite the same ingredient, each cocktail is very different from the last.

We thought we’d start with all guns blazing and use the Spitfire, a wonderful take on a brandy sour which uses peach and dry white wine to good effect, as out first cocktail of the evening.
