There's a video where Beachbum Berry talks about this EXACT thing - how he initially started out at .25 oz of orgeat and as time went on he started upping the orgeat for the right balance. https://youtu.be/4uOD9YlzqJ8?t=39m7s (that's the pertinent bit, but watch the whole thing) There have been a couple of times where I was a bit heavy-handed with the Pierre Ferrand dry curacao and thought, "No worries, it'll be fine"...and it wasn't. It had brought out a bitterness that was not complimentary. Try this: .75 oz. fresh lime .50 curacao .50 orgeat .25 simple / rock candy / Demerara syrup 2 oz. rum(s) of your choice I like dialing back the lime ever-so-slightly.
