Loved this the first time. Decided to make it a bit less sweet by omitting the sugar syrup and half of the sugar syrup. Use Smith and Cross Navy Jamaican rum and a little Foursquare spiced rum. It was perfectly dry for us and a great evening cocktail.

Had one more time as above, but added a little rum based coffee liqueur. Completely different cocktail, but WOW.
