I am out of bourbon, cognac, vodka but have tequila and a lot of amaros/liqueurs so tried yesterday: Fernet, tequila, Giffard Banana & a little lime, NOPE. Right down the drain with that. Ended up with another pineapple variation; tequila, Heirloom Pineapple Amaro, a little of the banana liqueur, a little of roasted pineapple syrup, and some lime. More of a margarita variation, it was much better but not what I was aiming for.
I think the banana liqueur maybe needs to be saved for pancake batter or banana bread, it’s not bad I just can’t make it work in a drink.
What are you drinking this weekend?
I don’t drink these often, but sometimes I Abide (in my own way) and pour a
2 Appleton
1 coffee liqueur (I use a diy rum-based here)
Spoon of branca
Spoon of banana
Mole bitters
Top with whole milk
I’ve used giffs and banana 99 there…hard to say which works better, but 99 is more candy nana than giffs.
This weekend is getting warm, so it’ll be a batch of margaritas with Naranga plus my new fav mixto, El Tequileno….and ti punch with Paranubes to pick up any slack…an excellent sip if you like funky rums. Cheers!
