The possibilities with this are endless. After trying this (I thought it was okay), I went with Apricot as everyone knows that goes with Bourbon like Hemingway goes with Daiquiris. And it works! Also works with Amaretto and Frangelico.

I was wondering how I was ever going to use up my bottle of,🍌 banana liqueur.... I've worked it out now! Delicious!

Thought it needed a little more bourbon since I usually make a Boulevardier 2:1:1, so I added 0.5 oz bourbon after the first taste. Used Buffalo Trace and Punt e Mes. Nice drink.

One bar spoon of Branca Menta completes the picture.

You could tell by the recipe it'd be delicious and it is absolutely incredible.

A delicious drink. Recently did a taste test with 3 different vermouths and the “judges” ranked as follows in terms of preference: 3) Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino; 2) Antica Formula; and 1) Punt e Mes. For what it’s worth, in all three samples we used Woodford Reserve, Campari, and Drillaud’s crème de banane.

I really enjoy this cocktail. The Banana liquor is weird when you think about it but it just works so well. Who would have thought.

So I made this twice. Used Evan Williams 100 proof, Cinzano Rosso, and Giffard Banane du B... 100 proof bourbon makes the difference, though with the first stir, the banana was only barely noticeable. Good stuff... Made a second stir with the banana-to-Campari now 2:1... More mouthfeel for sure, a touch more banana (wouldn't want more?), but which one is preferable?? The lil extra viscosity may work if you use a big rock. Otherwise, the differences are negligible. (2 May 2023, 4:01p)
