No need to shake, just stir.
Drop the sugar; it masks the flavors. If you want it sweeter, add more ginger ale.

The general consensus seems to be that the simple syrup is not needed, so I omitted it.
I did not have plain black/blackstrap rum on hand, but I had Kraken black spiced rum.

With these in mind, I thought the cocktail was nice. Next time I’ll buy a sample of blackstrap rum and try again.

Had to replace the Chartreuse with Benedictine DOM, but this turned out to be delightful!
