I used Dolin blanc vermouth and Rothman Apricot. I think I'll add it to my late night rotation. It's not overly sweet to me compared to other popular cocktails. I'm more of a gin drinker than vodka, but some friends left a big bottle of vodka from New Year's and this is as good of a use for it as any. Plus, I have had the Apricot liqueur for a while. This is a great use for it.
