HISTORY:
The interplay of funky rum-alternatives and sweet caramelised banana flavour in this drink make for a cocktail that is at once punchy and refreshingly fruity and moreish. This drink follows the style of classic tiki drinks like the Zombie in that its base is skillfully disguised by some carefully chosen fruity flavours and modifiers.
Unfortunately there’s no alcohol free way to set this drink on fire, at least not that we;ve found, so for our non-alcoholic version we opt for a classic tiki garnish of a pineapple wedge and a sprig of mint.
