History

After a recent bar shift, I was inspired to tinker with banana liqueur that I last used a few days prior in the Origami Ape with the recipe structure of the 1919 Cocktail. For a name, I dubbed this one the King Louie after the orangutan who appears in Disney's 1967 movie The Jungle Book; King Louie was not in Rudyard Kipling's book but was cast for, voiced by, and named after New Orleans singer Louis Prima. It also fit since the recipe had a New Orleans feel to it.
