Ok so since the last 2 Mai Tais I've made have been disappointing, I've been double checking the recipe and noticed a Beachbum Berry discrepancy between Remixed and his official website.

So in Remixed he's got...

1oz Lime
1oz Dark Jamaican (Tried Appleton VX, Smith & Cross, and Myers so far)
1oz Amber Martinique (Tried Clement, MG Eclipse, and Barbancourt so far)
0.25 oz Orgeat
0.25 oz Simple Syrup
0.5 oz Orange Curacao

On this website here: http://beachbumberry.com/recipe-mai-tai.html

He's added an extra 0.25 oz of Orgeat.

Anyone know what I should be using? Checking other recipes around the net seem to suggest, on average, a little less curacao and/or an amount of Orgeat matching the Curacao. Is that right?

It sort of leads me to ask the, possibly forbidden, question around here... do these tiny amounts really make a difference? Is 7.5ml of sugar syrup a big deal? And if these measures are impactful, is there going to be a huge difference if I double the Orgeat?
