Reckless as we are, we decided to try to nudge (although 'shove' might be a better word) this in the direction of an Old Fashioned:

45ml Herradura Anejo Tequila
5ml Del Maguey Vida Mezcal
15ml Ferrand Dry Curacao
15ml Ramazzotti Amaro
2.5ml Agave Syrup
6 drops Bittermens Xocolatl Mole Bitters
Express an orange twist over the drink, gently rub the rim of your Coupe glass with it and plop it in the drink.

We went with Ramazzotti because, to our taste, it has lovely orange notes. If sweet is not your thing, maybe ditch the syrup but, if you do, we think you might be sacrificing 'roundness'. With the bitters, if Xocolatl Mole is too strong for your taste but chocolate is, nonetheless, welcome, then maybe go with Bob's Chocolate Bitters; but if you want to stay truer to the orange theme of the drink then maybe go with 2 drops Bob's Margarita Bitters and 4 drops Orange Bitters.
