Oops - accidentally made this with tequila instead of vodka - don’t know if that already has a name but it’s delicious. Like a softened margarita.

Wanting the cocktail a little more sour, upped the Apricot Liqueur by 1/2 and left out the cane syrup. It is still a bit on the sweet side, but with a tang. Very nice.

I used Marille liqueur instead of apricot. And I took 30 vodka and 30 Marille. After the icecube was dissolved I used some Drops of foamer and shaked again heavy.
Got a very nice juicy sour and friuty drink.

A light, citrus forward cocktail with a good balance. The apricot is not very prevalent. May try it with a peach liqueur which, in my opinion, tends to be more assertive.
