This is a simple rework of the Peach Pit with a more assertive peachiness. I liked the original, but I regard this as an improvement.
1 1/2 oz peach-infused Laird's Applejack
3/4 oz Bols genever
3/4 oz Lillet Rose (Cocchi Americano would be appropriate, but reduce to 1/2 oz)
2 dashes peach bitters
2 dashes aromatic bitters
Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass; garnish with a slice of dried peach.
This has a lingering peach sweetness backed up by some malty spice, but it's not quite as rich as the original. That makes the whole cocktail much fresher, akin to biting into a sour peach rather than a sweet peach.
