Just as it says on the tin. Rich tropical and orchard fruit, but not overly sweet with balancing lemon citrus acidity, orange bitters and underlying gin...
A simple tip for fruit purées: buy the small pure fruit pouches intended for babies from your local supermarket. Currently around 50p for 70g - so enough for three of the above recipe.
I will say I didn't have orange bitters, instead using the grand shake method with mandarin peel. However, the drink just tasted of apricot and nothing more. A bit disappointing.
I made the recipe as written and it was way too sweet. The apricot was dominant for sure. Removed the sugar syrup completely and more flavor nuances opened up. But yeah the balance between the apricot and mango would take more experimentation than I could handle today.
