This is all dependent upon your choice of orange liqueur. My first attempt was with Bethel Rd (a distillery in Los Angeles, California) that has a nice sour orange flavor and it was absolutely wonderful (I tend to like my drinks a little on the bitter/sour side). I next tried it with Alma Finca Orange Liqueur which has more a sweet, tiki style. I much preferred the Bethel Rd. A splash of orange bitters helped the Alma Finca version.

Surprised at how tasty this is. Quite spicy to me, probably the bitters I used. I don't have Bob's Abbotts Bitters, used Bitter End Moroccan bitters (which seemed to kind of, sort of to match the flavour profile of Abbotts (based on the description)), anyway I like the spiciness of the Moroccan, though might need to up the banana or reduce the bitters. Not really getting much banana flavour. Anyway, what I ended up with is quite good.

I completely agree, a splash of maple syrup in place of the simple makes for a much more interesting drink. This was a favorite as written, even better with maple syrup.

This is very tasty. Complex but smooth. If anything though, I’d up the lemon juice a bit. I think my apple juice is a little on the sweeter side (plus I tend to lean more to the sour).
