OK, first, I need glasses. I read it as 1/2 ounce lime. It is 1 and 1/2 ounce for those that have the same reading issues that I do.

Second, very yummy!

The orgeat is a nice add. I also added a dash of angostura and I think it helped give it some depth.

LOL...yea...the 1 1/2 oz of Lime is alot of Lime juice, but Maraschino cherry juice is REALLY sweet. Also, if you go with only 1/2 oz Maraschino cherry juice without the orgeat, what you get is a really tart lemon/lime-ade kind of thing. The orgeat smoothes it out a bit. I like it both with and without the orgeat.
Angostura, I'll have to try that. How much ?

Question :

Are there alot of Tiki drinks that use Maraschino cherry juice ? I don't recall seeing too many. I think it's suh a great drink additive. I put it in Soda sometimes...like fresca (really yummy) , lemonade, limeade...whatever.
