One of my favorites

Yeah quite fruity indeed. My version is a bit sweeter as I ran out of apricot brandy liqueur by about 2.5mls or thereabouts. Still nice and tasty though. I have to say, the Bourbon does feel slightly invisible.

Added 5ml more of lemon juice and had proper proportions. The Bourbon still feels ever so slightly invisible, but more balanced and more than deserving of its 4* rating.

I made mine with 20 hard shakes and strained into a coupe, intense flavor, fabulous cocktail. If too tart then serve in the rocks glass with ice per directions. Very nice cocktail!
