Just made a variation I liked a lot based on this recipe with:
- 2 parts Plantation 3 Stars
- 1 part Clairin Communal
- 2.5 parts Orange juice
- 2 parts lime
- 0.5 part simple sirup
- 0.5 part orgeat

The clairin brings a nice complexity to the drink without overshadowing the other ingredients. I'll do it again.
