A better version of olympic but a bit of sweet.Use half of orange liqueur and it would be more balance.

A very easy to drink cocktail. Nicely balanced, with orange flavor being predominant (obviously). Not overly sweet for my palate.

Great drink. Found it a bit sweet so put a splash of pomegranate juice in it (made it red) and took down the sugar a bit.
