For us, using Chinola instead of the recommended inferior Passoa liqueur nudges this up to 'excellent'.

Subbed 15ml of rum with 15ml of unaged rum agricole, and the Sugar syrup with 2:1 Demerara syrup.

Swizzled before adding the crushed ice, then stirred.

(P.s. the "add sugar step is missing in the original recipe", I added it with the rum.)

Yes, the "How to make" doesn't mention the sugar syrup...but it is needed.
