Tips for Making Drunken Plantains:

Choose ripe plantains: Look for plantains that are yellow or black with a few brown spots. Avoid plantains that are green or have too many brown spots, as they will be too starchy and not as sweet.
Slice the plantains evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the plantains into 1-inch thick slices.
Soak the plantains in lime juice: This will help to prevent the plantains from browning and will also add a bit of tanginess.
Use a good quality rum: The rum is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality rum that you enjoy the taste of.
Don't overcook the plantains: Plantains should be cooked until they are soft and tender, but not mushy. Overcooked plantains will be tough and chewy.
Serve the plantains hot: Drunken plantains are best served hot, so eat them as soon as they are done cooking.
