Review

Fruity and sweet 'n' sour with gin-laced stone fruit and lime. If you have a dry/sour palate, and depending on your apricot liqueur and limes, then cut the sugar syrup back to 7.5ml (¼oz) if using 2:1 sugar syrup. (If using 1:1 "simple syrup" then 10ml will produce a dry cocktail.)

I have a bottle of apricot umeshu in my home bar - could this count as either a "brandy" or an "eau de vie"?

I suspect what you have is a low-alcohol sake-based liqueur.
