I liked it!
Used Myer's rum, cut the apricot in half (I prefer my drinks on the not-too-sweet side), used 2 drops of vanilla extract in lieu of the syrup, and since I didn't have a grapefruit twist, added 3 drops of Malört.
Nice mix of flavors :)

Absolutely fantastic. Rich, complex, and easy to drink. I used a vanilla extract wash instead of Monin vanilla syrup, I don't know if that significantly changed the drink. Highly recommend.
