- Wine Recommendation: A sweet dessert wine will know just how to coddle the butter and rum, or possibly a sweeter Gewurztraminer will make a great companion to the bananas.
- Beer Recommendation: For your flaming dessert, a sip of stout. For the best match, pick one from the Caribbean.
- Comments: For a dramatic, festive finale, try this flaming tropical dessert.
- For another tropical treat, you can substitute 2 semi-hard mangos for the bananas. Peel and cut into 1-inch thick slices.
