I used Marille liqueur instead of apricot. And I took 30 vodka and 30 Marille. After the icecube was dissolved I used some Drops of foamer and shaked again heavy.
Got a very nice juicy sour and friuty drink.

A light, citrus forward cocktail with a good balance. The apricot is not very prevalent. May try it with a peach liqueur which, in my opinion, tends to be more assertive.
