After we lost a few good bars and covid hit, home bartending became my Quarantine hobby. My suggestion? Purchase Martin Cate's Smuggler's Cove book, hit up some Jersey and Delaware locations to get better Rum selections, make your own syrups at home (Orgeat is time intensive but not difficult) and watch a few of How to Drink's videos Greg's a little chatty but knows his stuff.
But even sticking to the state stores, you can find both Rhum Barbancourt 8yr and Appleton Estate and 1oz of each makes a solid Mai Tai.

Their drinks are pretty solid but I've heard they went down hill in the last 3 months.
Last time I was in Royal they were slinging a few solid tiki adjacent cocktails.

Heck yeah Smith and Cross is great. I put an oz of that in my Orgeat to help it keep. Also swap that in for Gin sometimes for a "Kingston Negroni"
