I used a smaller frosted chimney glass this time, maybe 8 to 10 oz in size (to cut down on the amount of club soda). The flavors definitely worked better. Also, I have to say that this drink (like most TV drinks) is designed to taste good at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end. The last few sips of this drink were excellent, as were the middle sips. The front end is tougher, because you have to get past the creme de cacao / cointreau combo. Not bad though. I try to give TV drinks a few go rounds before deciding if it's good or not. I figure if he was selling them, they must have made someone happy. glen
