Pleasantly light and fruity with raspberry and rose wine forward. The Famous Grouse Scotch I used is barely evident as a base, with the Laird's only slightly more so by lending an apple cider note. Beautiful reddish pink. I experimented with a Meyer lemon for the juice (a departure for me, but I have leftovers from making several quarts of preserved lemons) which would reduce the acidity somewhat compared to the base recipe. I did not have Orinoco bitters but based on tasting reviews subbed with Angostura Aromatic Bitters and a cardamom pod thrown in for the shake.
