About
An original cocktail of mine, and another step toward making 2026 the year of the banana. Built in the spirit of a Carajillo, this version brings in funky Jamaican rum to lean into the banana and espresso rather than just sit beside them. Licor 43 adds a soft vanilla note, and a couple drops of saline accentuate the flavors and help keep everything balanced.Cheers y’all!
