Okie dokie.

One thing I did notice during my last trip to the Ti was that the booze is seemingly dispensed out of much used bottles. Which leads me to think that the drink calls for a proprietary mix of white rum and gin. Where I think the gin is light, but enough to give that botanical edge.

I got to this tonight:

1 oz white rum (I was using Don Q)
1/2 oz gin (something not too overpowering, I used new Amsterdam)
1 1/2 oz Passion Fruit Syrup (I was using trader Tiki, all I had on hand) .
3/4 oz rich simple syrup
3/4 lime juice
1/4 oz creme de noyeux (Hiram walker)
3 drops vanilla extract (Mccormick brand)

Shake or mix

Add one ounce club soda to thin and add some bubbles then pour into tall glass

Top with 1/2 oz coruba

It isn't a mistake but I think I am in the same country. It is far darker due to the creme and it is probably too sweet, but I think it is progress. Give it a try folks let me know what you think. I am going to keep tweaking then when I go back to the Ti on the 25th for my birthday I will take more notes.

Have a good night all.
