For my first post of 007 Fest 2024, and part of table 006, here's Felix Leiter just being himself.

This blog started out as a Hawaii Five-0 fan blog. But before I was a fan of Hawaii Five-0 (2010-2020) I was a fan of Hawaii Five-O (1968-1980).

I’m currently rewatching the remake H50, but I got emotional about Chin and Kono leaving the show and decided to go back and rewatch a few episodes of the original H5O.

It was approximately 20 minutes into this episode that I realized that what I thought was Alex O’Loughlin being an Australian trying to do an American accent was actually Alex O’Loughlin mimicking Jack Lord’s accent 🤯

I’ve been a fan of H5O for 15 years and the remake for 14 years and it’s taken me THIS LONG to realize his weird American accent was intentional.

007 Fest - Felix Friday Cocktail

The Jamaica Contact with a Side of Danger

1 1/4 oz lightly aged Jamaican rum 2 oz crème de banane  1/2 oz lime juice 1/2 oz demerara syrup + 1 oz Jamaican overproof rum, served separately

Combine the first 4 ingredients with ice in a rocks glass. Serve with a shot of overproof rum on the side, to be poured in to taste.

The original film version of Felix Leiter, as introduced in the movie Dr. No, blends in while undercover by imbibing the local beverages. This simple and well-balanced cocktail features a smooth blended Jamaican rum (I recommend Appleton Signature Blend for delicious caramel notes) balanced with a quality crème de banane and fresh lime juice. Amp up the complexity with a demerara sugar syrup, and you have a handsome 4-ingredient taste of the tropics that’s fine on its own…but it’s better with a side of danger!

The Jamaican classic overproof white rum by Wray & Nephew (126 proof) brings a bright, grassy freshness to the drink…and packs one hell of a punch! Float as much or as little of the overproof rum shot atop the cocktail as you like, but be sure to keep your wits about you; you can’t afford to get so soused you miss your contact!

Note: Not all banana liqueurs are created equal, and this drink really exposes the quality of its ingredients. The pall of cloying, artificial ‘banana flavoring’ from a cheap label will murder this drink, and not in a sexy Bond Girl way (more like an eaten by sharks way). Your best selections for naturally made banana liqueurs are Giffards’ Banane du Brésil or Tempus Fugit’s Crème de Banane.
