The latest update of The Atomic Grog gave me an inspiration, so I made my own version of S.O.S. of Mai-Kai. I have never been there, and probably never will since it's like 5000 miles away, so I have no idea if this is even close. But the result was an amazing drink and that's all that matters. I took Hayward's advice and dropped the pimento dram. I also upped the amount of juices just a little bit, and dropped a bit the rums too, seeing how it's in the mild-section. The result was a really tasty drink, and even though there's a bit less rum, it still shines through quite nicely. So here's what I did:

3/4oz martinique rum
3/4oz demerara rum
3/4oz fresh lime juice
3/4oz orange juice
3/4oz honeymix (1:1 - I used orange blossom honey)
1/4oz falernum
1 dash angostura bitters

Shaked it up real good with a load of ice and poured into an old fashioned glass. Drinking it right now and it's veeery good.
