My friend, Paul, once showed me what he called the ‘proper’ way to peel a banana. Apparently, it is how monkeys do it! Anyways, he’s a great guy, you’d like him.
Pisco Banana
The Peruvian Pisco Sour is the perfect sweet, sour, foamy foundation to add tropical flavours onto—like Leroux® Crème de Banana.
½ oz Leroux® Crème de Banana
1 egg white
1 ½ oz pisco
¾ oz lemon juice
¼ oz simple syrup
Add ingredients to shaker without ice and dry shake. Add ice and shake, then strain into glass.
Banana Boulevardier
The Boulevardier is a riff on the Negroni, substituting whiskey for gin. This is a riff on that, adding sweet banana flavour to the bitter classic.
½ oz Leroux® Crème de Banana
1 ½ oz Douglas & Todd® Bourbon
1 oz sweet vermouth
½ oz Campari
Caramelized bananas to garnish, optional
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice and stir. Add a large ice cube to a rocks glass. Strain ingredients into glass. Garnish with caramelized bananas to serve.
Rum Runner
Tropical flavours meet tropical colors with the bold, dark purple from the addition of blackberry brandy.
1 oz Leroux® Crème de Banana
½ oz Leroux® Blackberry Flavored Brandy
1 oz Trader Vic’s® Silver Rum
1 oz Trader Vic’s® Dark Rum
1 oz pineapple juice
1 splash grenadine
Fresh fruit for garnish, optional
Add all ingredients to shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a hurricane glass over fresh ice. Garnish with fresh fruit.

“A ‘rum runner’ was a sort of tropical bootlegger as I understand it. But this is a law-abiding establishment. You can see our license behind the bar. I had it tastefully framed.”
