I was also at the "too limey" stage and it turned out that dialing down the lime wasn't the answer at all. Instead I traded in the cheap triple sec I was using for Clement Shrubb (.5 oz), dropped the simple syrup entirely, and switched from Sonoma Almond to Ferrara Orzata (1 oz). No longer too limey at all even though I'm still using about 1 oz of lime. Just ordered some 1883 Routin Orgeat and I suspect I'll have to dial down the orgeat to .5 or .75 oz as the Ferrara is tasty but a bit weak.
