There's a load of orgeat (almond syrup) in this Daiquiri-style cocktail, but it's only just on the sweet side of balanced with that almond richness contributing...
Fundamentally I think I would say I like it. My problem is that going into it I expected it to be a Mai Tai or Daiquiri riff. That's not what this is at all. On the sum of ingredients you would *think* that's what it is but I don't think so. The Maraschino takes it into a completely different direction. It's not a sour so don't expect that. It's more like an earthy, almondy almost Mojito-like but without the Soda water. Again, I like it, but I'd like to try it again mentally realigned.
A creamy more varied in flavour "Daiquiri" style drink. Almost a Tiki drink without all the ice, and gaudy glassware getting in the way. I did add extra Lime. to keep the sweetness in check.
So delicious!! Great flavour combination.
I ran out of Orgeat while making this and so only used 15ml instead of the recipes' 20ml.
It was fantastic as it was.
Highly recommend.
