What tweaks (or wholesale changes) would you make to your mix of rums for your everyday Mai tai to get closer to that flavor profile? Now that you have had a replica of the original rum, what would you mix to say Appleton 8 (something more in line with my budget) to get closer to the ball park of the original flavor?
