I made my own mandarin liqueur and decide this was a good cocktail test (using the ingredients I had). This drink was bright, full, dominant, intense in every positive way possible. However, I couldn't give it a higher rating for a lack of complexity. Very, very solid drink.

Had this one quite some time ago, but it fell off my memory. It came up today when I utilized the Cocktail Finder tool, looking for drinks with Bourbon and Mandarin Liqueur. Very summery appetizer, well done!

Really enjoyed. A bit on the sweet side for me, but is perfect for after-dinner. All the ingredients blend perfectly together with nothing overshadowing the other.

A very interesting after dinner drink. Felt like a dessert drink with a sort of Chocolate-orange overtone. Wonder if it were the cranberries alongside the mandarin and Bourbon causing that. Definitely will make again.
