Very good and refreshing. Depending on the orange I would be careful with the sugar syrup. Next time I will try to change sugar syrup for Ancho Reyes.

100% agreed. I felt like my oranges were quite sweet so I didn't use sugar at all. The cocktail turned sweeter than I expected

Makes a great Blood Orange Daiquiri (which doesn't seem to exist in Difford's Guide) simply by replacing the orange juice with blood orange juice. I used a fairly sweet, orange-y cognac liqueur (A. de Fusigny; similar in sweetness to Grand Marnier) and skipped the additional sugar syrup. Garnished with orange and lime zest twists. The blood orange makes this special.
