Cut out the sugar syrup. Resulting in a tiki tasting cocktail without the sweetness. You need a strong Cognac - would recommend a brandy - and we used Myers rum to add a slight hint of Jamaican funk. It was perfect.

Was a favorite when I made it with Myers's. Just made it with Bacardi 8yr and Torres 10yr brandy split with cognac. Still a favorite! All in on the Torres next time.

Very underwhelming. It tasted like a watered down Mai Tai. The Cognac was not at all prominent. It all just melded into one, in a not-so-good way.

Agree this is over sweet with store-bought orgeat. Drop the simple and reduce the syrup from 15ml to 10 or so and I think it's quite nice

I find it a bit oversweet, would try to reduce the sugar syrup or use the home-made Orgeat. The one from Giffard is good but tends to dominate the flavor & taste.

Tasty! might be my new fave

juicy and fresh. Goes down well. A nice after work drink. Sometimes we might drizzle a little homemade grenadine. I’ve been also doing a Campari drizzle and calling it a Dress Code.
