CLASSIC SPIRITS: The Banana Rum Old Fashioned

From March 5th, 2021

NOTE! I am revisiting some old classics from the Spirits vault over the summer! I keep making this one - more often with banana liqueur these days if I’m honest. But still. It is one of my great favourites, a lovely thing to sip on a sultry summer evening - and I have painstakingly recreated the original BANANA-based playlist, too! Enjoy.

~ THE BANANA RUM OLD FASHIONED ~

60ml banana-infused dark rum (see note 1)
10ml golden sugar syrup
Dash Angostura bitters

Stir the ingredients in an Old Fashioned glass filled with plenty of ice - ideally one glass-filling cube. I used a banana chip as garnish, but orange or lemon peel are good choices too!

Some B.R.O.F. Notes:

1) See below a full explanation of how to make your own Premium Handmade Double-Filtered Artisanal Organic Fairtrade banana rum. It only takes 24 hours, maybe 8 hours if you’re in a hurry. 🚨🚨🚨 HOWEVER if you can’t wait that long here’s what you do. You make a basic Rum Old Fashioned tonight and a Banana Rum Old Fashioned tomorrow! 🚨🚨🚨
