History
A vibrant sour riff, this cocktail elevates the classic formula by introducing the rich, slightly overripe sweetness of apricot preserves, which also lends a captivating, hazy texture to the drink. The unaged rhum agricole brings a grassy, funky depth that pairs beautifully with the fruit and citrus.
