To my taste, this is not balanced, and the ginger is lost in the citrus. I increased the ginger from 2 slices to 4, reduced the lemon juice by 1/4 oz and increased the OJ by 1/4 oz, and liked it much better.

Nice name for this cocktail, btw--the play on "angel's share"...

I followed Rick's variation, but--having no gingerroot at hand--used a "shot" (1.5 oz) of Q's Ginger Beer, which has got a bite. We like it! An unexpected combo of flavors.

Agreed. The lemon was a tad overwhelming so I have cut this back to 3/4oz (1oz) and to maintain balance I've also reduced the maple syrup a to 12.5ml (but some may prefer to leave this at the original 1/2oz). I tried more ginger but personally I prefer this subtler.
