Ripe Bananas on a Perfect Lawn

2 twst Grapefruit peel
1 3⁄4 oz Mezcal (Blanco)
3⁄4 oz Grapefruit juice (white)
3⁄4 oz Crème de Banane, Giffard
1⁄2 oz Pineapple syrup
1⁄4 oz Suze
Instructions

Shake everything, fine strain into a coupe.

Notes

The grapefruit + banana interplay comes from the cited link. It really needs white grapefruit - even Oro Blancos need a touch of citric acid per ounce. There are so few bright cocktail acids... why did people have to go screwing with grapefruit?

Curated this - changed the last rum to the correct spec in the article. Not that a lot of people are going to have it. Maybe a Velier Hampden - S&C isn't aged enough. Thanks,  Zachary

Pangolindo commented on 3/27/2020:

Used for the overproof rum a white agricole rum (Longueteau 62%) with great results despite being unaged.

It brings minerality and freshness to the mix.

applejack commented on 2/03/2020:

While this build is fine (and the people I've made it for tend to enjoy it more than me), it tends to be a little curacao heavy for me, with the sugary sweet Ronnie Zac combining with it to have a strong candied orange note that's a touch off putting.  I like to sub Bigallet China-China for the curacao for a more complex, bitter, less orange forward version.  I imagine Amaro Nonino would work as well.  Also needs a bit more dilution than I normally do (50-60 stir revolutions, so an extra 10-15 is fine), and the expressed lemon peel is a must to cut the sweetness.

Piglet's Lament

1 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Cynar
1⁄4 oz Elderflower liqueur
1 oz Sweet vermouth
1 twst Grapefruit peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.

Notes

Elderflower works great with both Cynar and Campari, and the grapefruit oil helps to draw the fruitier notes of it out.

History

I was tinkering around with Negroni variations for a request from an upcoming wedding held at Loyal Nine. I was inspired by Eeyore's Requiem to include other liqueurs in the mix, but I did not want it to be as extreme as Toby Maloney's neo-classic with Campari being the largest component. Therefore, I stuck with the equal parts gin, liqueur, and vermouth ratio. For a name, I kept the Winnie the Pooh theme and decided on Piglet's Lament; one of Piglet's laments in Winnie the Pooh is "It is hard to be brave when you're only a Very Small Animal."

I think this cocktail is absolutely fabulous. One of my favorites.

yarm commented on 2/13/2022:

Cheers! I need to revisit this recipe for my guests at work. Hard to believe it's 4.5 years old already...

Aviation__1952 commented on 7/09/2025:

WOW WOW WOW !!! This is quite fantastic !! My own "addition" is that the fresh grapefruit I have: the rind/skin is very thin and won't spritz. So I cut a big piece of rind, then squooshed it and smooshed it a lot, then rubbed the inside of my coupe glass with that rind to get some "spritz" into the glass for the garnish.
Anyway, this is a fantastic cocktail !!!!
