I make this one whenever I have orange juice on hand. It's sunny and much more satisfying than a Sunrise.

This time, I didn't have any Galliano, so I used yellow Chartreuse. Even that tiny amount was very assertive.

Despite my name - I prefer this to the Harvey version!

Given the prominent orange/OJ, this seems like a good addition to the breakfast/brunch category here on DG (especially to accompany the Harvey Wallbanger).

Well, fine drink. Taste the ingredients and they fit, but the sum does not add up to more than its parts. Unfortunately.

Perfect. I little on the sweet side, but not noticeable. Unfortunately, very easy to drink. Plan to make a pitcher of these on a sunny afternoon when you have no plans.

Agree on the sweetness; great balance of sweet, boozy, bitter, "funk" (from the Reposado), and tart. One of the best orange juice dominant drinks I've had so far...
