There’s Always Money in the Banana Stand

There’s Always Money in the Banana Stand - This Arrested Development reference has a few surprises! The biggest is using a peated Scotch as the primary spirit. The other is using a banana leaf to wrap the drink with. Zac Overman from Seattle created this dandy of a drink while at L’Orsin. It is featured in The Minimalist Tiki book.
In a blender cup of cracked ice add:

• 1oz Fresh Lemon Juice

• .5oz Cinnamon Syrup

• .75oz Banane du Bresil

• .125oz St Elizabeth’s Allspice Dram

• .25oz Yellow Chartreuse

• 1.5oz Aberlour 12 Year old Speyside Scotch Whisky

• Line a cut out banana leaf inside a tall Collins Glass, fill with crushed ice

• Blend for 10 seconds with your Waring speed blender and strain into your Collins Glass.

• Garnish with grated cinnamon and a cinnamon stick and 2 pineapple frond. Enjoy!
