How do you adjust the recipe so as to make them reasonably classic (that your guests who've never had one can see what the fuss is about) for a lot of people, but without breaking the bank?

Jokeiii, all the recipes sound very tasty.
Here’s my tip: 1, estimate the # of drinks you’re gonna make.
2.Combine both rums into a suitable glass container with a cap.
3. same for the orgeat, curacao, and simple syrup if you’re using it ( see KKockas tip).
4.Squeeze Limes into a container. I use (Tang) Pitchers that I pick up at thrifts.
5. Prepare the garnish. Do 1 through 5 2-3 hours prior to the party
6. invite me.
I use a 16 ounce glass measuring vessel and several shakers. You’re going to look so cool Mixing the drinks. Get a guest to help get the ice in the glasses and shake the shakers.
Have fun
Btw, you never have too much lime juice. They are fairly cheap at ethnic market. Figure bout 1 lime per drink
