Monkey Cola

Herbaceous, refreshing and yes…. Bananas 🍌

Ingredients

• 2oz aged rum - we used @plantation.rum 5 years

• ¾ oz banana liqueur - we used @Giffardusa Banane du Bresil

• ¼ oz @st_agrestis amaro, you could probably get away with other Amaros like Meletti, Ramazzotti, or Montenegro for this. 

• ¼ oz All Spice Dram - we used St. Elizabeth. You could sub in Angostura bitters for this flavor if needed.

• 2 dashes @elguapobitters Polynesian Kiss bitters. Again, If you don’t have these you can probably get a similar flavor by just using Angostura or a different baking spice bitter.

• Optional addition: 1 ½ oz of drinking (not cooking) coconut milk for a toned down, more milky flavor!
