With 1/4 oz 1:1 simple syrup and around 2/3 Lime juice, this is a 4.5 Star cocktail for me. The flavor combination of Apricot, Gin & Grapefruit works very well together & has a level of complexity to it that I love in cocktails.

Rich apricot jam given a dark twist from the bitters and a segment of a charred orange wheel (we had no grapefruit). Made with Bombay Sapphire and the De Kuyper Apricot Brandy. Very nice, definitely worth more than 4 stars, added to the rotation.

Tart and refreshing. Perfect for a warm Spring afternoon. Delightful.

I would actually go slightly lower than 15ml for the syrup. Otherwise, once it warms up after a few minutes it can lose its balance and become to sweet for my taste.

Agreed! I've reduced syrup to 10ml. Many thanks for your feedback.
