Turns out I didn't have any lemongrass syrup either. Or Cointreau for that matter. Double Shazbot!

However, I did persevere to try the drink with a couple of substitutions this evening (morning?) over at Kirby's Rumpus Room.

Here is the final product which I made two of and which several people had a chance to sample. Not bad at all! Tonga Tom took a picture and I'll put that up at some point...

1/2 oz Grand Marnier
1/2 oz Orgeat Syrup

1 oz lemon juice
