I just remade this with creole shrubb and it's still great. It's a bit more funky but it's still wonderful. It's not the most complex of flavours, but if you ever have a guest that wants a candy in liquid form then this is what you should make them.

Sweet, but delicious with Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao & Rothman Apricot. Goes down easy.

Made it with Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao and Giffard Apricot liqueur. It was delicious. Tart, sweet and fruity, it made me think of Skittles.

Good balance of sweet/sour for me. The Grand Marnier suggestion below sounds good!

Really nice, if a bit sweet. I tried it two times, one with DeKuyper Apricot (standard, not black bottle) and mandarin liqueur, and then another one with Orange Curacao adjunct and Apry. The latter was far and away more delicious. Like a lemon curd with an apricot ribbon. More-ish.

It tasted a bit too sweet for my taste. Seems like it needs something else to make it a better cocktail. not sure what

Very nice with dessert pâtisserie
Added a bit more lemon as I have a more sour tooth

I used Cointreau and Bols Apricot Brandy instead of listed ingredients. And the result was a little too sweet and intense for my taste buds. Couple of splashes of soda water solved the problem.
