Superb. The apricot comes through nicely.

Sublime; depending on your apricot liqueur (i'm using luxardo) you might skip that 5ml of agave entirely. Though it is true that, for a margarita enjoyer, a bit of sweet is a cost tradeable for even more agave. I have enjoyed many types of margaritas and this is hand to hand with "margarita floridita" which probably has another name but is the one with a bit of lime cordial and grapefruit juice as well.
