Idonis

The Idonis cocktail is delicately sweet, using a small amount of pineapple juice and just a touch of apricot brandy for its flavor. The rest of the drink is simply straight vodka.

This is a great cocktail when you want you want something just a little bit tropical and sweet, but still sophisticated and not at all weak. Try an Idonis cocktail the next time you’re thinking about pouring a Sidecar.
