Thank you Simon for this great cocktail! I used Tanqueray instead of Monkey, although I am based in Germany 🤭, Amaro Nonino and DeKuyper Banana. In this combination Luxardo is too dominant although the cocktail is still excellent. Next time I would up the Banana and the Amaro a little bit.

Too sweet and busy for me. Wish it had a bit more intrigue with all these nice ingredients.

Delicious and reminiscent of a Last Word. Despite a long list of ingredients, this is a well balanced affair. Me likey.

Okay, I'll admit my mistakes right away - I made this with Hayman's rather than 47. I didn't read the instructions carefully so that's on me. *Still*, however, this is a wonderful cocktail where the herbs from the chartreuse plays with the banana liqueur and the maraschino in a lovely way. It's on the sweet side of a sour, sure, but personally I think sours can be a tad too sour so this is perfectly balanced to me. Next time I'll make it with 47.

10 stars for this one! About as sweet as I get for cocktails, enjoyed the unusual pairings of liqueurs.

Taste is subjective and my palate is not always in sync with others cocktail ratings…
but omg I did love this one.
Boozy balanced and complex - great job on this one Simon
