You get some added sweetness from the extra orgeat plus more of the yummy almond flavor. It works with some rum combos but not with others. You just need to keep playing around with different combos and measurements until you find what pleases your palette the most. I've done over 30 variations of a mai tai and still play around with it all the time, wondering if I can make it even better, experimenting with a three and even four rum blend (Denizen Merchant Reserve, Clement VSOP, and Appleton 12 with a Lemon Hart 151 float knocked it out of the park).
