Armeniaca

1 1/2 oz Three Sixty Vodka
1/2 oz Lillet Blanc
1/2 oz Apricot Syrup

A very simple way of handcrafting your Apricot Syrup is to cut a few mature Apricots in half. Put them in a copper cooking pot, add sugar and top with water. Cover with foil and let it sit for 12 hours. This way the fruits deliver all their flavour to the water. Then at boiling point take the fruitflesh out of the pot and reduce your mixture by half. Since you're working without precise measurements you should be tasting your syrup several times, always keeping in mind that it has to be that sweet. Strain your Syrup multiple times and bottle it.

Chill a Fancyglass and leave it aside. Pour all your ingredients in a shaker and top it with thick, dry Ice Cubes. Give it a Hard Shake. Empty your Glass and pour the liquid on a single thick Ice Cube into your Fancy Glass. You may garnish your drink with a Lemon Twist.

This isn't supposed to be a women's Drink, men can enjoy one just feeling as drinking an Old Fashioned.
