The Standard we use: 1 oz. gold Jamaican Rum (usually Appleton Estate) 1 oz. dark Jamaican Rum (Coruba is our go-to Rum for this one) 1/2 oz. Orange Curacao 1/2 oz. Orgeat .25 oz. Simple Syrup Juice of 1/2 to 1 lime - depending on the tartness, juciness & size of your limes which varies tremendously It is important to use a good Orange Curacao (not Triple Sec), not too much Simple Syrup & adjust the amount of lime accordingly. Good Luck!
