Not well rounded. Tasty but still missing something.

Really nice, but the orange zest wasn't enough. I added 5 mL of dry curaçao to even everything out, and it went from interesting to out of this world.

Very refreshing. Good balance with the amaretto and cranberry.

A crowd pleaser. Suggest being more generous with the angostura. Since I only gad unsweetened ceanberry juice I used vanilla simple - really nice.

This was surprisingly nice. I was impressed and will try it with friends. Very different than I was expecting. Pleasantly surprised.

Not bad for Christmas in July, keeping the proportions but increasing the quantity and adding a hint of orange to put over ice during summer. Cheers!
