I’d say the easiest is start with one of the other common whisk(e)y-honey liqueurs that might be easier to get, and just add some tangerine peel to the bottle - I’d say the aforementioned Drambuie, Irish Mist or Yukon Jack, of ones I’ve had. Or a non-whisky honey liqueur like the (IMO, sublime) Bärenjäger. Although IMO, Glayva’s most like Bénédictine than anything else. ---

> [@Yllaria](#): > > The descriptions I see online say it includes honey, spices, almonds and tangerines. Can’t think of anything that really matches. Sounds a lot like [Vana Tallinn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vana_Tallinn). According to that Wikipedia article, it’s available in the US. ---

I’ve seen examples of your Mad Slilz, **Rocketeer**. I’m surprised you don’t make your own! 😉 ---

> [@bump](#): > > Is Southern Comfort considered a liqueur? It sounds somewhat similar, and is super-common. This is what I came in to recommend, and I second this recommendation. I’m not a big fan of most liqueurs, but I love me some SoCo. ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > This is what I came in to recommend, and I second this recommendation. I’m not a big fan of most liqueurs, but I love me some SoCo. Must be something about Michigan. Southern Comfort was one of our high school go-to’s, because it went down real easy while we were playing euchre in the basement rec room. ---

Reasons there’s something about Michigan: 1. Southern Comfort is easy to find and not expensive - even in Michigan. 2. Nothing to do but sit in the basement, play euchre, and drink. 🙂 ---
