I didnt have any oranges on hand so I substituted them for more blood orange soda and omitted the simple syrup. Even with Redbreast 12 cask strength for the whiskey, the Barenjager is over powering with a hint of angostura. The whiskey is lost in the flavors.

When your in laws leave a bottle of mountain dew in the fridge, you may as well try it... Used whiskey x2, didn't use sugar syrup, and still a bit too sweet.
