Tonight I tried out that syrup using the three sugars that Berry mentioned: cane sugar, golden turbinado, and dark muscovado. My proportions are 1 cup water, 1 cup cane, 1/2 cup turbinado, and 1/2 cup muscovado. The results taste good so far but I'll have to refrigerate it and try it in a SG-style Mai Tai. I know that the bar uses an exclusive El Dorado rum but I believe that its closest equivalent is the 12-year ED. I'd like to know other experimental syrups that my fellow Tiki Centralists are tinkering with. Next up for me is rock candy syrup made with Filipino cane sugar.
