Surprisingly good, even though I'm not a fan of orange juice in cocktails - the cranberry vodka seems to balance out the acidity in the orange

Wanted to make it less boozy so used half whiskey but 5mls each cacaos, a drizzle of syrup, 1 good dash bitters and 10ml lime. Decorated with a Luxardo cherry for a bit added sweetness

It makes for a long drink with a low alcohol content. It is sweet and some may wish to increase the lime, and r possibly use passion fruit juice and mango juice instead of purée. But overall I love it

I'm going to agree with you regarding the sour element of many cocktails and - having a sweet tooth myself - I find that I use less lemon/lime than recommended, usually about 5mls less.
So this was an ideal cocktail for me. Perhaps too easy to drink! It reminded me of a lemon tart and that's no bad thing IMO.

I'm surprised by this recipe as a Fluffy Duck is usually made with gin instead of rum and has the addition of triple sec and orange juice. The recipe given is more akin to a Rumble, which is 2 measures of advocaat, to 1 of white rum, topped with lemonade

Make no mistake- Lanique is not a liqueur, it comes in at 39% and packs a punch in both flavour and strength. It is sweet, and requires a cocktail or serve with balance and the classic serve of ice and lime works well.
It is a true Turkish Delight rose taste without being cloying. It's vastly underrated in my opinion.

I was sceptical about whiskey and Advocaat, but it does work. The whiskey does shine, despite the sherry and the Smokey whiskey adds a nice flourish in spite of its minuscule measure.

I enjoyed this, but it is very sweet even for my taste and I love sweet cocktails. It needs lots of ice to tone it down. I’d be tempted to lower the amounts of Drambuie and Galliano

Good gingery flavour, warming and sweet. I have made this also using Butterscotch syrup as a substitute for the liqueur, but dial back to around 15ml unless you really like it sweet.

Really enjoyed this - I only used 10ml of maple syrup as it seemed sweet enough to me with the triple sec, though appreciate some orange gins are less sweet than the one I used (Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla)
