Interesting range of comments with respect to Difford's vs "original" version which if I interpret comments correctly, differ over primarily how much Maraschino / sweetness one prefers in this drink. I always start with the Difford's recipe and did so in this instance notwithstanding usually avoiding cocktails with orange juice. To my surprise, presumably because of the lemon, I found this to be a lovely and well balanced cocktail. Not too sweet, and for me more importantly, not too orange forward. I will compare to the "original" recipe at some point.

Very nice cocktail which to me is reminiscent of a Between the Sheets drink with the addition of Grenadine.

I agree, this is an excellent drink and warrants a larger portion size!

Notwithstanding other's concern this might be too sweet with the addition of sugar syrup, I followed recipe. While not too sweet, it was very cassis forward as would be expected, so if you aren't a big fan of blackcurrants, this one may not be for you.
