OOOPS overlooked that the recipe called for orange vodka, so I see that there would be more orange flavour than mine was with straight vodka. However, I think the orange gin provided some dimensionality the orange vodka wouldn’t.
Too sweet as it was, and I wondered why the recipe called for Amaretto instead of an actual orange liqueur. I added 1/2 oz of Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla and it was magic. It went from “let’s hide the alcohol so we can get drunk easy” kind of drink to sensing/feeling the alcohol bite with an actual orange creamsicle taste. A great dessert drink in that fashion. Next experiment: spray the glass with Absinthe and then pour, to create a liquorice and orange experience.
