This vodka-laced cocktail is indeed tangy and golden (well, light orange) with a pleasing banana chew flavour.

My wife loved this, but I thought it was terrible. Although I'm a big fan of Strega, the banana seems to really draw out the anise notes here, which I don't like.

Almost every time I try a vodka cocktail, I think “this would be so much better with a different base spirit.” In this case, Pisco was calling to me, so I tried it again with Pisco instead of vodka and it is excellent!

i weirdly had a similar thought... vodka is a bit simple or flat sometimes, but its great to beef up modifiers you enjoy like harvey wallbanger
