It’s my first foray into the use of orgeat. It is a tad sweet but a little boost of the lemon would resolve that. I found it balanced and enjoyed the vodka x triple sec x lemon interaction . The orgeat pulls it together with the fragrant mouthfeel. I will make it again.
Sweeter than I would normally like, though it's an almond-y sweetness, which is a little more unusual. Other than the orgeat, it's a good way to use up basic bar supplies. I'd probably make this for friends who want to start exploring cocktails but aren't ready to get wild with bitters and liqueurs yet.
