General Comments: Essentially, this is a slightly strong mimosa with added Triple Sec.  Not exactly a fascinating proposition.  On the other hand, adding more kick to a mimosa whilst also increasing the inherent orangey nature of the drink isn't a bad idea - indeed it works quite well.

Nice name, too.  Clearly in the long-standing tradition of suggestive cocktail titles, with the added bonus of implying this can be drunk for breakfast.  That's all the excuse I need...
