Used yellow chartreuse instead of Benedictine and it worked very well. Made a second using 1/4 oz of oj and using 1/4 oz of raspberry syrup and it was very floral and still extremely good.

Lastly, we used lavendar bitters with a spritz of orange blossom water.  Very very good cocktail.

This would make for a fantastic brunch cocktail. Very good. Blanco Tequila also worked nicely. I tried with rhum agricole in place of tequila, and while not nearly as good as the original, it's a skeleton of a drink that I think might be worth experimentation.

Good, but could probably be improved. I have it at 3.5 at present. I like the bones of the drink, but the proportions might benefit from some slight tweaks. It is a bit sweet and the orgeat dominates while the Benedictine is mostly lost. I might cut back the orgeat and up the Benedictine. Then again, the Torani orgeat I am using might be holding it back, I need to try making my own.
