It was just a little unbalanced for me. I tend to like sour drinks but this was a tad heavy on the sour. I added just a teeny bit of grenadine (about 1/8 oz) and another 1/8 oz of allspice, and that was enough to balance it out for me.

Depending on your choice of rum, you might want some simple with this.

Banana notes are subtle in this rum and cognac-laced sipper
