Mr. Nicotine is correct. Look at the example below. The recipe uses orange
tequila and an orange juice. One difference between adding a liqueur and a
juice is it changes the characteristic of the drink. Orange juice has a water
base and a triple sec/orange liqueur has an alcohol base. That is why some
recipes will call for orange zest, or orange extract, etcetera. Each of these
changes the characteristics of the drink. When you add a dairy product to a
drink - ice cream, heavy cream, whipping cream, whipped cream, milk, skim
milk, powdered cream and half-and-half etcetera they change the characteristic
of the drink. One more example would be coffee liqueurs. Kahlua has a whiskey
base, and Tia Maria has a rum base mixed with spices etcetera.
However, you could use the orange juice and not the orange liqueur while first
experimenting to get the flavor the way you want. Then switch the orange
liqueur and orange juice or mix half of one with half of the other.

I answer questions on four forums. A lot are drink requests for a drink they
had somewhere. Don't wait. Get the recipe if you can immediately. For
example, a drink at Chilis, in which a bartender at one location makes a drink
can be made differently by a bartender at a different Chilis location.
With all the different ingredients you have found that are used in what they
the called a melon ball (electric watermelon) you will be surprised how many
different drinks you can create.
