Ingredients
1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice 0.25 oz Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao (or perhaps Clément Créole Shrubb) 0.5 oz orgeat (adjust to taste, depending on sweetness) 0.5 oz Plantation Rum O.F.T.D. Overproof 1.5 oz Plantation Rum Stiggins’s Fancy

Notes
Mai Tai purists will note that I’ve omitted the rock candy syrup in the recipe below. However, I’ve bumped up the orgeat from the usual quarter ounce. The overall balance is also augmented by the sweetness of the Stiggins. Of course taste preferences are subjective, so tweak the dry curacao and orgeat ratios to your personal taste.
