I can't imagine how the alcohol percentage would do that. It does sound good, though.
I've been wondering about what to do with bitter flavors. Grapefruit juice is a typical tiki ingredient, and that's somewhat bitter, but I don't really know of any other ones.
Maybe using orange bitters and grapefruit? Tiki is characterized by tropical fruits -- especially citrus and pineapple, rum, coconut, and, to a lesser extent, almond syrup. So I want to stay within that conceptual space while trying to be creative.
