Yummy and interesting! It's pretty cool how the dry vermouth does something different at the end of the sip than bitters would have. It's a new sensation and really neat.
Not at all as sweet as I thought it would be. I came in with prejudice but no, it's actually quite lovely. It's like a floral apricot candy with body from the gin and vermouth. I thought the lemon wouldn't be able to control the sweetness but it actually does. Solid 4.5/5 for me.
Lovely. Marie Françoise Apricot Liqueur, Beefeater, Dolin, tempered ice. I am happy with the lemon part as indicated, adding more would be a detriment I think. The way it is, the apricot shines through robustly. It's a fine lingering sipper, not a guzzler.
This one's delightful! The apricot and grenadine play well together amongst balancing bitter and sour support.( I used Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot.)
Made it as posted and interestingly, it pushed my sweetness tolerance limits. Second time I doubled the lemon juice (1/3 oz or 10 ml) and it was definitely more balanced. The Apricot does shine well in this cocktail.
