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.

Orange Tequila Sunrise: 

1-1/2 oz. Tukys Orange Tequila 

4 oz. Orange Juice 

2 Teaspoons Grenadine 

Pour tequila and orange juice into a Collins glass almost filled with ice 
cubes. Stir well. Drop 2 teaspoons grenadine into center of drink.

Southern Comfort is a blend of bourbon, orange and peach liqueur. 35 per cent 
alcohol by volume.

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.
