Ingredients
¹⁄₂ fresh	Lime (fresh) (chopped)
1 barspoon	Superfine/Caster/Baker's special sugar (white)
¹⁄₃ fresh	Banana (preferably overripe) (chopped)
¹⁄₂ fl oz	Giffard Banane du Brésil liqueur

How to make

Glassware

Serve in a Highball (max 10oz/300ml)

Prepare

Select and pre-chill a HIGHBALL (MAX 10OZ/300ML) GLASS.
Prepare garnish of stirrer (spoon, wooden lolly stick or stick cut from sugar cane).

Method

CUT lime in half (from pole to pole) and then slice one of the halves into eight 3-4mm thick half-moon shaped segments and drop into the base of a robust rocks glass.
Add 3 bar spoons caster sugar (or ½oz / 15ml sugar syrup 2:1) and MUDDLE.
Add slices of banana and MUDDLE some more.
When sure fruit juice is fully extracted and the sugar dissolved, TRANSFER the muddled fruit and sugar into serving glass (preferably a 30cl / 10oz hi-ball glass).
POUR cachaça (stored in the freezer) into the rocks glass (used to muddle) and swirl to rinse glass before pouring cachaça into serving glass.
STIR to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
FILL glass with small cubes or cracked ice. (If using large ice cubes, crack (rather than crush) four to five large ice cubes using an ICE TAPPER and drop into serving glass.)
STIR before topping with more ice.

Garnish

Serve with a stirrer (but no straws).

Now you know what to do with overripe bananas...don't ever let anyone tell you to make banana bread again!

I made it using the method above, but got towards the end and didn't see where to add the creme de banane. I added it when I stirred and it worked out great.

The recipe also says 1 bar spoon of sugar and the method said 3? I used the 3 and it is sweet but not overly. I suppose the ripeness of the bananas makes a big difference here.
