I understand most hold the classic drink recipes somewhat sacred, but I'm curious what changes members make to classic recipes and the results. My personal favorite slight alteration is on the Mai Tai, using more Orgeat and very little simple syrup. If my willpower is strong, I also wait 5 minutes to start drinking. For some reason I find when the ice melts slightly it enhances the taste, not sure why. Lately I've been experimenting with many rum combinations, and my current favorite is Clement Hors D'Age and Trader Vics Dark Rum. Kind of strange an expensive and cheap rum pair so well, but it works for me!
