Tropical Lady
Serve in a Martini glass
| 1 2⁄3 oz | Bacardi 8 year old rum |
| 1⁄4 oz | Luxardo Maraschino liqueur |
| 1 1⁄6 oz | *Special ingredient #1 (see above) |
| 5⁄6 oz | Lime juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 1⁄6 oz | Monin Pure Cane Syrup (65.0°brix, equivalent to 2:1 rich syrup) |
| 3 drop | Angostura Aromatic Bitters |
Garnish: Dehydrated banana chip
How to make:
SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass. *Special ingredient #1: Banana paste made by blending 3 bananas with 350ml simple syrup and straining into a clean bottle. Will keep for 2 days in the fridge.
Review:
Making the above recipe we found ourselves pondering why the 5ml of sugar syrup was not incorporated in to the banana paste. The finished drink is basically a banana and maraschino influenced aged rum daiquiri.
History:
Created for Bacardí Legacy 2017 by Ludovico De Biaggi at BASA Basement Bar & Restaurant, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Inspiration: “Tropical Lady is an elegant Tiki cocktail, inspired by family and the Latin spirit of sharing. My parents are bar and restaurant owners in Buenos Aires and since I was very young they taught me the importance of sharing moments and knowledge to make a legacy endure.
“They share the passion of doing what they love; it is that same passion that drives me to always be searching. My cocktail is part of that search and I have the pleasure of sharing it with you.”
