I was desperately trying to find a use for an unwanted bottle of Drambuie and I read an American Drambuie recipe somewhere which used orange and lemon. I couldn't find it again so I replicated but added bitters to offset the extreme (to me) sweetness of Drambuie. It worked like a charm and I love the overall taste

Method

Just stir the ingredients together and assuming the orange juice is already chilled it will be fine. As a variation you can use mandarin, clementine or tangerine juice and they work just as well, especially clementine. I thought this up when I was miserable with a flu bug and it cheered me up hence the name 'Gloom Destroyer'
