Used a combo of Bourbon and Calvados. Was a little too sour for me, but still quite delicious and nice. I also used a mix of orange juice and orange bitters, which is why I guess it was a little surprising. I also made one with just raspberry syrup and I would say I prefer that a little more.

Sorry for the late reply, but here were the specs I used: 15ml lime, 7.5ml each of lemon and orange juices, 5ml each of grenadine and raspberry syrups (both 1:1), 1 dash orange bitters (Ango Orange), 60ml Calvados (Avallen), 7.5ml Bourbon (Wild Turkey 101). Shake with ice and finish with a lemon twist. In hindsight, I would bump up the syrups to 10ml each in the future, as I forgot the extra 7.5ml of plain syrup when adapting this recipe.
