5/6 fl oz | Gin |
1/3 fl oz | Dutch Cacao white crème de cacao |
1/2 fl oz | Lillet Blanc (or other aromatized wine) |
1/4 fl oz | Giffard Banane du Brésil liqueur |

History:
The Vervet is a species of monkey with a white body and a black head and is the inspiration for this layered, faintly coffee and banana-influenced riff on a 20th Century cocktail. Fittingly, this cocktail finishes with enlivening coffee. Originally based on Monkey 47 Gin.
