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.
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.
Jez sez:
“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.”
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.
