Mustard yellow with a white head, rather than pink, but there's more than 'puff' of flavour to this bourbon-laced, apricot-flavoured sour.

Pleasant enough but a bit dull. We threw in 7.5ml triple sec.

Wish I'd seen your comment before I made this drink tonight. I did double the amount of sugar syrup, but next time I'll add triple sec. Thanks!
