I'd like some help to improve my Mai Tai. Somehow, the magic isn't quite there. Here's what I have--

Barbancourt Rhum 5 Star (8 year)
Appleton Estate Extra
Senior Curacao Orange
Torani Orgeat
Stirrings Simple Syrup
Lime

I have tried other orgeat, which to me is not so much the problem here, but I am open to suggestions. Mainly, I'm thinking I need to maybe go higher top shelf in one of the key ingredients. Is there a curacao or a rum I can update (swap for) to take this to the next level? I wondering if the Barbancourt is the weak link?

Many thanks.
