Unexciting without the soda and very watery with the soda. Orange liqueur isn't a great base spirit.

I liked this as-is, but also felt like a bit more lime might be nice? Will have to try it again...

Read this and thought, Yeah more lime. Then I thought, Maybe less soda. Then, More rum? Now I'm thinking it's mostly the more rum.

IDK it's very OK, almost a Classic classic punch ting but a bit polite.

Used blue curacoa and Grand marinier instead, very nice balanced cocktail

This was outstanding. Great if you like rum. Did not have room in our glass for the splash of soda, but it was great without. Will do again and would recommend.
