A sophisticated bourbon cocktail that showcases Gemini's mercurial nature through aromatic evolution rather than temperature change. The cold-brewed Earl Grey rinse imparts bergamot oils that slowly integrate with the drink, while bourbon provides a robust foundation enhanced by apricot liqueur's stone fruit sweetness. Ginger syrup adds warming spice balanced by bright lemon acidity, and orange bitters tie all components together. This summer adaptation maintains the cocktail's transformative character through evolving bergamot aromatics.
