Tastes like Froot Loops.

As neither the Heering nor the Triple Sec are sour and there is no lemon in the recipe, we were confused about the name. We added about a 1/4oz of lemon juice which improved the experience of drinking this. It’s not a horrible drink but something profound missing, we think. IF we were to try again, less Heering more Triple Sec as the Heering utterly overpowered the rest of the drink.

Agree with other commentators - innocuous and unchallenging, but pleasant enough. Ultimately, a bit 'meh'.

Like Kool-Aid for grown ups. Pleasant if you’re in the mood for something sweet

Didn’t care for this one. It was a bit bland. I added a dash of angostura after trying it, which improved it a little, but there are much better uses for Heering.

Interesting twist on the Spritz. I like the fusion of a orangy cherry sweet. I this case i would go for the sweetness and reduce the triple sec to 2cl. My new name for the cocktail "Dr Pepper Spritz".
