I think I have the Mai Tai down as good as I can get it with the ingredients on hand. It's sweet but with a sting of dark rum and lime to it. I noticed the almond on my first taste but it sort of blended in by the second.

1/2 ounce Myers's Dark Rum
1 1/2 ounce Bacardi Gold Rum
1 1/2 ounce DeKuypers Curacao
3/4 ounce Lime
3/4 ounce Torani Orgeat

Since the Torani is so sweet I just upped the amount of it to replace simple syrup.
The only other change I made to the suggested dosage was an extra 1/2 oz of Curacao.

Thanks for all the help and advice!
