Interesting. I’m always on the lookout for cocktails with no citrus for when I haven’t been to the market and this is one I’ll probably have again. I didn’t taste the orgeat or crème de cocoa like I’d hoped but it is a solid drink. Not too boozy and not too sweet

The review mentions coconut but there is no coconut in the ingredients

Thanks for letting me know Mark. Now corrected. So long ago now that I'm not sure if the original blended version was with coconut syrup but I've just made it with each syrup and very much better with orgeat. Indeed, it's a delicious cocktail.
