Jeff and Steve Remaberg bith conceeded that they make their mix on the very sweet side, so to strike thebtight balance they dial back the amount used. I still make my mix according the the version Ted Haigh published in Forgotten Cocktails and that is a bit less sweet so the 1.5 oz still works well for Witch doctors at home. Most of the Jaspers mix in my house goes into: 1:1 J Wray Overproof and Jasper's cocktails (can't remember if that one is called the Jasper's Jamaican or the Caribbean Cocktail). Podgy and Jasper (my own drink that has a very similar flavor profile to the Witch Doctor but I think is even better. 1 oz each of light rum, Coruba, Jasper's mix and honey mix, plus a couple hard dashes of pimento dram, shaken withh ice and served unstrained in a Mai Tai glass. Try this one the next time you have a bottle of Jasper's mix and let me know what you think.
