Revisiting this one with different rums and homemade falernum cuz I didn't care for it the first time I tried it. Still not loving it. Maybe a couple less drops of Pernod or adding a little honey mix or sugar syrup will take the harsh edge off.

What about the drink don't you like? I can't recall if Steve Crane is "the" one who has the recipe in Sippin' Safari but that drink is fantastic.

Yeah, it's the one in Sippin Safari everyone seems to love but I just don't find it to have a good balance. I love all the ingredients but the proportions just don't work for me. This has nothing on what the Mai Kai serves up or the Atomic Grog's tribute which actually has more booze and ingredients that come together perfectly. Would be curious to know the exact ingredients you use and if you make any adjustments cuz as the recipe reads, it's not worth wasting my LH151 on again.
