A little heavy on the cinnamon, but a very good drink none the less. Since I had 3 different spiced rums, I had to try them all in this. Angostura Taboo was my favorite and the missus preferred Kraken black spiced. Both of us ranked Captain Morgan spiced gold in last place.

This is one of my faves. Went to make it today after a nice swim but had lunch no spiced rum- so I used Bacardi Coconut Rum instead to increase the tropical vibe. Outstanding. I think this should be a new recipe variation that I will call the Bent Banana.

Had this again with some craft cinnamon syrup I picked up at a farmer's market, and Pusser's Gunpowder Spiced. Bravo, Difford's! ?

This was pleasant but a little uninspiring. I tried this similar recipe (I'm afraid I can't remember where I found it) and found it much more interesting.
2oz demerrera rum (I used El Dorado 12)
3/4oz Banana liqueur
1/2oz Cinnamon Syrup
1/2oz Lime juice
1/8oz Allspice dram

I think the original was with Foursquare spiced rum, or Pusser's spiced. Both are lovely, in any case!

Not bad! Better than the rating suggests. The banana is subtle at that amount- I used Massenez which are always good. Didn’t have cinnamon syrup so used a shake of cinnamon powder and simple syrup which would be more or less the same. Nice.
