Gin-laced with zesty citrus and rich apricot but made special and balanced by subtle quinine bitterness

Like John, I used Lillet Blanc and Kina L'Aero d'Or, though I upped the L'Aero d'Or to 1/2 oz (15 ml) to bring a bit more bitterness and complexity to the drink. Cocchi Americano has a spice flavor component that sometimes clashes with white cocktails, although it might be ok in this one with the OJ and the apricot liqueur. Try L'Aero d'Or if you can find it (may not be easy!)

Just got my first bottle a few days ago and it's going fast. Great stuff! Made this yesterday with the L'Aero/Lillet and it was excellent. Tonight Bonal/Lillet, increased the gin and Bonal to your specs and it's also excellent! Thanks for your reply.
