Just made this three times, with three different iterations... Don't substitute apple brandy and/or real grenadine for the call ingredients, because they were astonishingly subpar compared to white rum and cane syrup... Still, it's a worthy conception in need of fine refinement.

Great for afternoon. Apricot and apple taste are subtle. Could possibly make with a darker rum if you want more rum flavour. Could also do a 151 float for the daring.
