Review

The classic recipe omits the sugar syrup, which makes this drink too sour for my taste. Duly sweetened, it is very much in the Sidecar or even Apple Cart vein.

The original recipe is the way to go. A very nice summer drink.

Sugar syrup is really optional, better without 🍭

Liking our cocktail a bit on the sour side, we used the classic recipe (without the sugar syrup). Both would be great, but I really like the more sour version.

I enjoyed this though I will definitely use 2/3 of an ounce rather than a full ounce of triple sec next time around.
