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.

Maybe try it with a rum split that includes Black Tears dry spiced Cuban rum. We don't think you'll be disappointed.

Great milk cocktail that's not overly sweet. Seems like you could have some fun trying it with different funky Jamaican rums.
