  • Not sure how much I like the flavors - coffee and chocolate predominate - but it's really well conceived. Improves with sitting a bit.

Good drink.  Dry, punchy, almost bubble gum-y.  It is similar in quality to the "Dangerous Liaisons" in the Death and Co. book, a significant improvement over the brandy version ("Happy Honey") in the Dale DeGroff book.  But not as good as the "original"--the Brown Derby, made with bourbon.

would the juice of a blood orange work in a pinch if no grapefruit juice is handy?

Most blood oranges are much sweeter than grapefruits, without the bitterness, and with a full orange flavor accented with raspberry. Substituting blood orange for grapefruit could still make a good drink, though you might want to add a bit of lemon to offset the sugar.

Ooh, great name (great album, too)... This looks delicious. Wish Sorel would hurry up and make its way down to Texas...

Bevx commented on 2/21/2014:

So, because my girlfriend is the best Valentine ever, I am now in possession of what must be one of the first bottles of Sorel in the Dallas area. Holy sha-moley, that is some tasty juice!... Anyway, this was the first drink we tried, and we both loved it! Had to make a few minor last-minute adjustments, though: I was low on ice, so I served it up; and I realized too late that my last 2 lemons were dry and sad, so I subbed grapefruit peel (which worked quite nicely).

Glad you both liked it. Sorel is delicious and versatile and I can't wait to see what people do with it as it becomes widely available. Your girlfriend is awesome for getting a bottle into Texas.
