BananaRama

The BananaRama is a take on the Old Fashioned cocktail. “She’s got it! Yeah baby she’s got it!I have blended the flavors of the tropics to create a very clean tasting, caramelized banana or creme brulee essence. But… without the overly sweet nature of either the Old Fashioned or the creme brulee. In an Old Fashioned, simple syrup is usually used. In this case, I am used the sweetness of the incomparable Banane du Bresil from Giffard. The preeminent banana liqueur on planet earth brings the proper noise on the rich banana flavor. To counteract that potential sweetness, we bring the high esther Jamaican Rum via Detroit with Doctor Bird from Two James Distillery. Doc Bird bring a natural, over-ripe banana essence (to note: the banana essence is natural in Jamaican rums very often. There is no banana present in the rum). To add a higher octane bump is the Plantation OFTD (Old Fashioned Traditional Dark) Overproof Rum. This 138 proof beast brings the proper noise to the palate. Enjoy!
To prepare: In a crystal mixing glass of cubed and cracked ice add:

• 2 oz Doctor Bird Jamaican Rum

• 1 oz Giffard Banane du Bresil Liqueur

• .75 oz Plantation OFTD Overproof Rum

  Stir for 1 minute. Strain over a clear BIG CUBE in an Old Fashioned Glass
  Garnish with caramelized banana slices with demerara sugar. Enjoy!
