A slightly sweet, anytime cocktail (if you have a wet palate, otherwise dessert). Also, the second time I've decided to just dry shake rather than do the reverse, and while the foam was not spectacular, the overall mouthfeel was improved. Orange, fruity Cognac and bitters rounding it off. Really liked it.

I think I am not just into orange juice in cocktails. Not acidic enough.

Great albeit sweet cocktail. I did add 10 ml lemon juice, a dash orange bitter and lowered the amount of orange liqueur a bit to balance it more to my taste.

Slightly on the sweet side. Orange flavor is outstanding. May have to try adding orange bitters as John suggested. Would still recommend it.

Easy drinking, and perhaps too easy drinking, but lovely and orangey.

This is very nice. I did find it a bit sweet, but I think it was that my oranges are very fresh and from a tree. Would do again, but put in some orange bitters if the orange juice is sweet.
