I found my favorite version of this cocktail and, regardless of the type of rum, it's 2 oz Rum, 1/2 oz 2:1 Honey syrup & 1/2 oz to 2/3 oz Lime juice. Shaken with one medium/small ice cube until I can't hear it anymore in the shaker tin & dumped over any type of ice.

Agreed! I used 2 oz rum, 1/2 oz 2:1 honey syrup, 1/2 oz lime juice. I love this ratio. And I think I could’ve gone up to 2/3 oz lime juice because it was still quite sweet.

Since my previous post I've actually started using a honey syrup ratio in between 2:1 & 1:1, more similar to your thinking with it being a little too sweet. I've also started using a standard full shaker tin of ice & cut a juiced lime husk into slices & shake it to get all those lime oils for flavor. I do a half shake & dump everything into the glass, & right now my favorite is with Avua Prata or Amburana Cachaça.
