It took me about half a bottle to finally like it. It was definitely an acquired taste. If you like banana try the Banana Toronto (specifically with Tempus Fugit creme de banane)

I used Kalami coconut liqueur in place of coconut rum and it ended up pretty good with complexity (almost) approaching what you’d find in non-tropical drinks

Added a little bit of chocolate bitters and it really seemed to bring all the other flavors forward

Not bad. I need to try it with some more top shelf ingredients (using middle shelf and some long-in-the-tooth bianco), but I almost winder if it would benefit from a splash of grenadine or chambord.
