I'm just going to have to accept that I'll never be a cocktail guy. I like cinnamon and I like grapefruit juice so I thought a Donga Punch would really hit the spot. I mixed one to the classic 1937 recipe and it was nasty. Half the volume of the drink is rum and not enough grapefruit juice or cinnamon to taste. So I added another couple ounces of cinnamon syrup and several ounces of grapefruit juice. It was pretty good :lol: :P :lol:

Nice label on the cinnamon syrup, MadDogMike. Bummer about the Donga Punch, I'll have to make one to see if I also find it bad. Fixing it with more cinnamon syrup might have made the drink too sweet, no?

I know your pain though, I've made a number of "classic" drinks and found they just didn't agree with my palate. Fortunately it's sooooo easy to move on to other things, lol.
