Take equal parts (3/4 oz.) apricot flavored brandy, creme de menthe (white), and triple sec. Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
Shannon thinks this drink is quite tasty. It has a slight medicinal aftertaste, but she enjoys the mintiness. I think that the mintiness and apricot flavor complement each other surprisingly well. I am a little surprised at how the triple sec is overpowered by these other two flavors.
As for who Ethel Duffy was. My rudimentary internet search has not helped me much. It appears that she was an author and translator. Anyone who knows anything about this, drop us some comments.
Ethel Duffy Turner and her husband were propangandists in support of Mexican socialism, Pancho Villa in particular. More here at: http://tiny.cc/AoimF. Pretty sure this is the woman the drink is named after.
