To stay on topic - One ounce of each rum is correct, a dark floater is entirely optional, albeit, my wife and ATP beg to differ. However, I would consider procuring the Denizen Rum 8 Year Merchant's Reserve and utilize two ounces of this fine Mai Tai making rum. Also consider using orange curacao vs. Cointreau, and then go with the balance of the above mentioned recipe. [ Edited by: Oxybeles 2014-08-20 15:19 ]
