3/4 oz orange curacao
1/2 oz orgeat syrup
1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice (gotta squeeze 'em by hand to get the oils out of the rind)
and my deviation, instead of the 1/2 oz simple sugar syrup in the original classic recipe, I sub:
1/2 oz falernum
1/2 oz domain de canton
Adds a crisp ginger note to it. Add a mint sprig, you think you'd died and gone to heaven.
