Hmm. Was underwhelming, although I should have expected that looking at the ingredients. I think unless you have those really spicy, contemporary Falernums, bump it up to maybe 10 ml?

Substituted overproof Navy Rum for 1/2 of the rum. Great cocktail. Nice little punch.

Many thanks for letting us know, Jose. Hopefully, now all should be tickety-boo.

I couldn't helped myself ... boosted to 60/60/60 rum/oj/pineaple then 15/15/15 falernum/apricot/dram allspice + 1 lime.

This is a nice drink but I think it's better un-swizzled, cause it's practically a rum and juice highball and gets diluted too fast when stirring with crushed ice. I think stirring to combine then adding the ice and serving right away would work best.

I am a big rum drinker. I tend to adjust Tiki drink recipes as I find them a bit too sweet for me. This is great as described. Also tried one with a half the amount of Falernum and added 1/2 oz overproof Navy Rum. I am in Southern California, so our oranges are a bit sweeter than many that are shipped and not as sweet.
