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!
