Interesting - definitely worth a try. The vanilla syrup (I used a prepkgd syrup, not homemade) was too strong, and tilted the drink into the too sweet and too vanilla area. However, the PX dried fruit is apparent on the rum backbone, and the Suze earthiness is there on the edges as well. The small amount of earl grey tea is lost though. I may try again, with less (or a lower sweetness) vanilla syrup.
