Orange curacao leads the cocktail, with a modest contribution of malty/yeasty bread from the genever. Moderately boozy/hot. Nice, clear orange amber color. I think the black tea complements the bready malt of the genever, but it is a minor flavor addition. The tea certainly helps extend the cocktail and facilitates picking out the curacao and genever notes, while reducing abv burn.
