This turns out surprisingly great. Sophisticated and subtle. Cocoa and banana is always good combination and in this drink they are very fine detail.

didn't infuse the campari and subbed dark for white cacao. this was fantastic! and the color is beautiful

Lovely drink, looks and sips like a very boozy red jolly ranchers (the old school square ones), there’s some kind of alchemy that happens between the banana and absinthe. For my sins I used brown crème de cacao, still got a beautiful blood red presentation - would work well on a Halloween party menu. Was precariously full in my Nick and Noras though, coupette was a more comfortable fit.
Also Cacao infused Campari is pretty great in its own right - used the leftovers along with leftover coffee bean infused vermouth from the also excellent Milk and Co Dale Cooper cocktail to make a lovely mocha Negroni.

It's a lovely cocktail but makes for a very full Nick and Nora glass. Next time we might do it in a Rocks Glass with a block of ice.

Wow a cocoa nib infusion really does wonders for Campari!

Little off topic, but is Banane du Brésil the default banana liqueur for all cocktails on Difford's?
It is by all means the best banana liqueur I know of, but at the same time it has a flavour profile that differs vastly from all the others.

It would of course elevate a lot of cocktails because of this, but wouldn't it at the same time risk being a mismatch for others?

Didn't have cacao nib infused Campari to hand, but it's one of my favourite infusions. Replaced with a few dashes of spiced chocolate bitters - delicious. Going to do the infusion and try again and see how much better it gets.

It's everything you want from a boulevardier - or rather, a left hand - but with the surprise of banana.

Thanks, great cocktail!
I also tried a version with the obvious name Psicó asesino where Ancho Reyes substitutes Crème de cacao. Here, I also added chocolate bitters because I find that the cocoa aspect is quintessential. Not saying it is fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa, better, but very good...!
