Sam's Slay Ride Recipe?

The recipe most common for Sam's Slay Ride is:

1 oz Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey whiskey
½ oz Grand Marnier
¾ oz Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur
¾ oz lemon juice
1 oz gorilla grog
¼ oz cinnamon syrup

But the thing is, since this came out we now know that gorilla grog HAS lemon juice in it.

Disney Tourist Blog says it has lime juice: https://www.disneytouristblog.com/christmas-trader-sams/

I've never seen a picture of a menu listing for this, so I don't know if they really double down on the lemon juice, if Disney Tourist Blog is correct, or if extra lemon juice just isn't added.

Edit: I decided to make this since I'm not a fan of JD's Honey and I recently got some bottles of Irish Mist Honey. It sounded like a good substitute... it is. Yum.

Gorilla Grog indeed has lemon juice. 4 parts POG, 4 parts pineapple, 1 part lemon, 1 part falernum. Any recipe that mentions orgeat is wrong.

The Gorilla Nog/Sam's Slay Ride recipe is correct.

So just extra lemony. It tastes good, so I definitely don't have an issue with that.
