In honour of Team Canada's game against the Americans, I substituted maple syrup for the cane syrup. Drink was great, but Team Canada didn't win. Not sure I'd drink again.

The cocktail is perfect 'as is'. I've made variations using Barolo Chinato as a substitute for the Amaro Nonion, and using Yuzu juice and Chinola (b/c I don't know chit from Chinola haha) as a lemon juice substitute. Both are very very good.

Quite sour. I was hoping the orgeat would come through a lot more. I eventually added a barspoon more of Orgeat, and that improved the taste, though it also cut through the lemon, maybe a bit too much. Also, it looks extremely orange due to the bitters. Was it too much?

Mine was orange as well. Tasted fine.

Wonderful drink. At the suggestion of a local restaurant that introduced me to this cocktail, I used 1.5 Highclere Castle gin, 0.5 Lustau cream sherry, 0.75 lemon, 0.5 Giffard orgeat and 2 dashes AB. Wonderful.
