I just checked my Tiki+ app and it only calls for 3 rums - two Demeraras and a dark Jamaican. I see you're using a combination of four full-flavored and aged rums. I have only made the Boo Loo using a hollowed-out pineapple, and while it has never been a disaster at all, it has been a refreshing but not a spectacularly amazing drink. I never thought it was horrible, though. It has quite a high "novelty" and "photo" factor. The only time I make this is when I want to wow my guests. 1.5 stars is kind of low, and I think that there are worse drinks out there. I didn't see the quantities of each ingredient you used, but I do wonder if it was your rum combination which caused the weird result?
