Very nice. Sort of an apricot, sweet and wet Martini. We might experiment by including in the mix an apricot vodka liqueur, or even splitting the base to include a peach infused vodka.

Very nice. I used Navy strength gin and a house made apricot cordial.

Fruity and very easy to drink. Making it with 60ml of gin, to me, adds more depth to the drink.

Agreed. Just different enough from your run of the mill martini to be worth making.
