I made a bunch of these 2 or so years ago for my wife and her friends and they loved it. I stuck with Bourbon at 1.25 and didnt split the base. I tried the specs here and it was just as good.
However something was off this time and my guess is my bottle of Pamplemousse Liquor (Giffards) is past its prime as the bottle is over 2 years old easily, and more.

My question is how long does Pamplemousee liquor last?

I'm no expert but anything under ~18% is not going to last as long, violette, aperol, crem de mure should be stored in the fridge once opened , same with vermouth... as far as how long it will last I can't say for sure but two years would be to long.

If you buy another bottle I do like a little splash in some bubbly water on a hot day if your looking for something but don't want a full strength drink.

Do you think you could implement fresh apricot into this drink? I've never attempted using fresh stonefruit in cocktails before.

Iv used fresh peach in smashes so don't see why not. Might add the egg yoke after the wet shake though.
