This bourbon sour has a nice bitter bite from the Averna to balance the sweetness of the apricot liqueur. I used Four Roses Yellow Label bourbon here, but feel free to try whatever you have on hand.

Add bourbon, apricot liqueur, Averna, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake until well chilled, about 20 seconds. Strain into an ice-filled OId Fashioned glass, garnish with lemon twist, and serve immediately.
