Golden wave but light rum ? Ha not on my watch. 12 year old Demerara Rum, and Grand M. instead of Coin. for a truly premium beverage. I also upped Falernum to 20ML. Golden Wave indeed. As far as ice i weighted 6oz for consistency.

Note: do not blend fully, pulse a few to crush the ice to various sizes but more smaller then large pieces.
