I found it a little bit sweet, but the flavors are great together. I'll try it with a little less syrup, and I'd like to try the Grand Marnier suggestion

It's like a grown-up slushie. It tastes of orange candy with just a hint of funk (used equal parts white Bacardi, Veritas and Three Star). Really delicious even if I can imagine people would find it too sweet if it was just shaken. Would probably reduce the sugar or remove it altogether if I didn't want to blend it. It's not really complex but dangerously drinkable.

I don’t like crushed ice cocktail so i try to blend ingredients in a ice filled glass and the result is excellent. I used 5 cl. pinapple juice

I would imagine this is bland beyond bland over crushed ice. I made this up, and it was sweet enough to maybe warrant an ice cube or two. Up, I might tone the syrup down to 5 ml. Lemon, Libby's, and Luxardo is a lovely combo.
