  • Delicious but a bit sweet - cut the banana to 1/2
  • Dessert! Used chocolate bitters and home-made crème de banane. I should make again with a better more banana-y liquer.
  • Sweet, test with 2-1/2-1/2 next time — ★★★★

Comments

Quite good - I tried adding a dash of allspice dram to it as well, which was an interesting variation - not necessarily better.

I tried this with Buffalo Trace, homemade banana liqueur,and Cardamaro for the aromatized wine.  I didn't have mole bitters so I used root beer bitters.  And then I made a couple more.

Made this with OGD 100 and 10 drops of Bittermens Xocolatl Mole Bitters, 50 revolution stir count.  Liked the flavor profile (reminded me a bit of a stirred boozy version of Bananas Foster), but thought it was a bit sweet for me as written.  Added an additional 10 drops of mole bitters, and per a previous suggestion, spritzed the inside and top of the glass with allspice dram, which I thought was a slight improvement to the drink.  Either way, a very tasty flavor profile.
