Loved the cocktail, but it is definitely a 6 on sweetness. Found it a bit sweet so I would either adjust the orgate, Curacao, or lime. As a quick fix to lessen the sweetness, we added our usual tiki fix, a 151 float. It was wonderful and with enough float, who care?

used 10ML Rumfire and it overpowered the agricole ... watch it on the balance front ... it was also better but bye bye grassy notes and hello FUNK.

With quality pressed coconut water, this cocktail is almost creamy, and as the name promises, it tastes of coconut-laced rhum agricole
