Sipping this right now after reading about it under the Tiki Max cocktail. Absolutely fantastic, just our style as a party drink in our home disco bar. Used a tiki decoration as I don’t do anything by half, my husband will tell you lol

Excellent tiki-style cocktail. Like all Tiki cocktails, it can be a little sweet. If you don't want it sweet, consider using less sugar syrup (I may just delete the syrup and pit in a pinch of cinnamon) and may use a dash more orange bitters. It is very nice with complex mixtures of flavours. Would definitely have again.
