island time

1 oz Dark Rum (3/4 oz Coruba + 1/4 oz Planteray OFTD)
1 oz Cocchi Sweet Vermouth
1/2 oz Campari
1/2 oz Giffard Crème de Banane (Tempus Fugit)

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large cube, and garnish with a lime twist (orange twist).Two Sundays ago, I decided to make the Island Time by Courtney McKamey at Weather Up in New York City that I found in a September 2023 Imbibe Magazine article. Overall, it came across like a rum version of the Banana Boulevardier so I was game, and it was different from the other Island Time on the blog which is Sother Teague's cigar-inspired Daiquiri. Once prepared, this Island Time showcased orange and caramel aromas. Next, grape and caramelized fruit notes on the sip relaxed into funky dark rum and bitter banana and orange flavors on the swallow.
