"The Baltimore Bang cocktail combines bourbon, apricot brandy, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. To assemble, the ingredients all get a wet shake and strained into an ice-filled old fashioned glass (bonus points if you make your own simple syrup). Garnish with a skewered Luxardo cherry and orange wheel. You could also serve this sophisticated bad boy in a chilled martini glass."
"The Baltimore Bang is a mid to high-strength cocktail, clocking in at 21.95% ABV (talk about a bang!). For reference, an old fashioned totes a 32.9% ABV and a straight-up margarita rocks a comparable 22.92% ABV. Depending on your preference, you can swap the apricot brandy with cognac for a less sweet, even punchier profile. If you go this route, opt for a fruitier variety like Rémy Martin or Camus Intensely Aromatic VS."
"Despite what its name might suggest, apricot brandies are sometimes made with apricots macerated in vodka or another neutral spirit. It's perhaps an unfamiliar ingredient, but provides a great opportunity to customize the profile of your drink.

The Baltimore Bang is a bourbon-based cocktail that blends apricot brandy, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup, producing a frothy, whiskey-sour–adjacent drink when shaken and strained over ice. Typical assembly involves a wet shake and pouring into an ice-filled old fashioned glass or a chilled martini glass, garnished with a Luxardo cherry and orange wheel. The drink measures about 21.95% ABV, comparable to many margaritas, and can be made less sweet and punchier by substituting cognac, preferably a fruit-forward Rémy Martin or Camus Intensely Aromatic VS. Apricot brandies vary widely, from bright Hiram Walker to spice-forward Leroux.
