Aprini, martini cocktail

The fruit industry has a ball crossing, recrossing, and criss-crossing the plum and apricot, two varieties of fruit that, really, seemed so happy on their own. We now have hybridized plumcots, pluots, apriums and varieties thereof. We mention all this to show you what we’ve decided to avoid. This drink recipe calls for a small taste of apricot jam. While sipping it, talk about the altered state of fruits.
