Made with Probitas (aka Veritas). I found this to be good, but also unremarkable. It's indeed well-balanced, and quite tasty, it's just not anything special. I'd rather have a regular daiquiri, or a (Trader Vic's) Mai Tai if I want orgeat.

Very almond flavour forward. Tended to be a bit sweet, but we added 4 drops of Bob's Difford's Daiquiri Bitters and it did lessen the sweetness. The bitters also added some flavour notes which were not part of the original cocktail. Went wonderful with a beef and rice stir fry.
