This cocktail is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less simple syrup or adding a bit of tartness with some lemon juice.

This cocktail is very good, but I found it to be a bit too strong. I would recommend using less rum or adding more mixer.

I made this cocktail exactly as the recipe said and it was too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less simple syrup or adding a bit of tartness with some lemon juice.
