Interesting that I lean away from sweet cocktails, and yet found this one not overly sweet as posted. Next time, I may try the over-proof rum as John suggested.

Substituted sugar with an equal amount of (slightly less sweet) cane syrup after reading the reviews here, as well as bumping up the lemon just a notch to match the lime. Wonderfully refreshing; need to see about making more of these during the summer months.

Being big rum drinkers, we loved this. Did cut back on the sugar syrup by 1/3. Also used a slightly overproof rum (90 proof) which balanced out the sweetness. All-in-all a very refreshing drink which went perfect with a spicy dinner. Would do again, but perhaps cut back on the sugar syrup by 1/2.

Fully agree with Chelsea Noble that it’s a little on the sweet side and increasing the juice while reducing the syrup does make it more refreshing to my taste.

Delightfully refreshing! Great way to feature a good aged rum while still making it easy to drink. A little sweeter than I would normally go with both the falernum and the demerara syrup. I think I might try just a quarter oz of syrup next time.

A bit too tart with the specified lime/lemon (and I'm not really a fan of sugary drinks)- should be balanced with pineapple juice or perhaps honey to offset the bitter/tart citrus. Very good base and can easily be layered with complimentary flavors (on the strong side)

Yes! This was really yummy. The angustora is prominent and you get all the different flavours. A new favourite.

Like like like! This could become one of my favorites.
