The combination of lime and apple juice doesn’t seem to balance properly. I tried subbing lemon juice and no apple. Then I loved it. To me lemon is much better with bourbon than lime, but soft fruits enhance bourbon so overall it’s great.

Was requested 'something with blueberries' ended up freestyling based on this with bourbon & rye 2:1, no apple, a few bar spoons of blueberry compote, addition of lemon as well as lime juice, a bit more syrup and light bar spoon of Benedictine. Prepped and served per recipe with a twist of lemon. No idea if this makes sense to anyone else but it came out pretty good.

I will admit we used a couple minor modifications, but we really enjoyed this drink. I had apple cider vs juice, and we went a little light on the sugar syrup.

Agreed. If you are serving over cubed ice better with less sugar - I've added a note above.
