I certainly did not invent the banana daiquiri, but I do love them! For this version, I split the base with Van Oosten Batava Arrack, which is one of the oldest spirits on the planet. The precursor to rum, if you will. Made with sugar cane and red rice, it has a funky, unique flavor. I wanted to pair the base with the dark aged Hamilton to give a unique flavor profile that works with the banana du bresil liqueur.

Editor's Note

Batavia Arrack and Hamilton 86 create a funky, molasses-rich base for this elevated Daiquiri. The brûlée banana garnish adds a necessary aromatic finish.
