This drink is a bit nutty (get it??). I’ve had the desire to combine banana and tahini into a cocktail for some time, and the flavor pairing is amazing. I will be tahini washing again because the flavor actually comes through a lot (~2 tbsp tahini per 5oz rum, stir slightly, refrigerate overnight, strain, and bottle).

I love trying new ingredients, learning new techniques, and of course, creating new cocktails-- especially ones influenced by food in some way. I also love the photography/videography side of things. I’m incredibly passionate about my craft but try not to take myself too seriously. Cheers!...

The day before you start, you need to tahini-wash the rum. See the backstory for details on tahini-washed rum. Stir until chilled, strain into double old fashioned glass (optional black sesame rim) over large ice. Express and discard lemon twist.

Editor's Note

Tahini-washed rum meets banana liqueur and Amontillado sherry in this complex, nutty stirred sipper. A sophisticated riff that balances funk with rich, savory depth.
