To our taste, there is something seriously wrong with this. Perhaps it's the fussy kaleidoscope of rums. And the prosecco, at its specified volume seemed very lost. So we halved the pineapple juice and doubled the prosecco. Better for us but not compelling. btw after two of these we passed Simon's pronunciation test...just!

I think it's the amaretto that you're reacting to. I feel like that, with the rest of the ingredients, brings almost like a saffron-esque component. I still like it in a weird way, but I can definitely see why people wouldn't like it. It's tiki in the strangest combination.

Got some Prosecco for this, adds a nice touch and i kept topping it off, it essentially leads to a ramp down into the Rum.

something seems missing ? imbalanced ? not enough acidity ? missing spice and complexity ? Yea that was my thought .. here is the fix: ADD an additional 22.5ml of lime and 20 ml falernum.

Don Q Cristal | Super Lemon Juice | Barbancourt 8 Haiti ... big hit with my friends. No pussers or white overproof but I still give it a pass.

Being BIG rum drinkers really, really loved this. Went perfectly with a Hawaiian noodle supper. The prosecco add a hint of effervescences. Next time would probably add a float of 151 just to kick it up a notch.

A rye whiskey and maple syrup sour served short and straight-up. You'd perhaps have expected this cocktail to be more drawn out.
