Thanks to your post, I picked up a bottle of the Sarang Tawon last weekend at the 99 Ranch market near me and I love using it. Thanks for the tips on TC to cut back the amount to keep the drink from getting too sweet. This is a vast improvement over the Finest Call puree I had resorted to before.
Cheers!

Brilliant! Glad that got you sorted out, mate. I'd actually always been slightly curious about that Finest Call puree so it's good to know this is a step up without wasting unnecessary cash like I did with Bols apricot brandy (UGH).

I don't know how much your market had the Sarang Tawon for but I have since used the ST and Small Hand back to back and I have to say that there really isn't a big difference between the two in a mixed beverage. Nowhere near enough a difference to have a distinct preference. Where I am (and using my pic as a reference), I can get three bottles of the Sarang Tawon for the price of that one small bottle of the Small Hand - that's a HUGE difference.

I've a fridge door laden with bottles of damn near every Small Hands product there is and I go through one of their big bottles of orgeat every week, but I feel that the Sarang Tawon is the no-brainer way to go if you can get it.
