I recommend using an interesting Rum here to make it less cut and dry and more interesting. I bit too dry for my taste but that can be adapted with a funky rum and maybe including 1/4 of simple syrup.

Interplay between pineapple and banana is fabulous. Maybe I've drunk too much whisky in my time but this, for me, wasn't overly strong at all

strong drink ! try 30 ml pineapple juice, 25 ml banana liquor for more pronounced flavor profile.

There's an interesting play between rum, vermouth and grapefruit which, with the right grapefruit, can be delicious. (Juice ripe pink or red grapefruit.)
