Really delicious, though I wish I had a cheaper Sauvignon Blanc (my Pouilly Fume was open) and a much better banana liqueur. But oh well, still a nice experience. I would also suggest trying Panini's thought of using dry vermouth. I think it can work.

I also forgot to add that in spite of only 10ml, the overproof Jamaican rum was very present throughout the drink, particularly in the smell.

Would it be possible to sub the wine for dry vermouth instead? Hard to justify buying a bottle to try one cocktail...

I think you just have to try it out yourself and see it. Trying the original drink, it definitely seems that it could work.

Outstanding. The name says it all. If you do no like rums that are funky or the taste of banana, this is not your drink. Otherwise, if you are a lover of all types of rums/rhums, this is a must try. There is a strong flavour of banana and a great hint of rum funk in the back.
