About
This cocktail is a riff on the Chet Baker, originally created by Sam Ross at Milk & Honey. In this version, Tom Lasher-Walker (@oneminutemixology) swaps sweet vermouth for banana liqueur, giving the drink a softer, rounder sweetness while keeping it rum-forward. He created it at Fresh Kills in New York City in 2016, and I came across it in the newly published The Madrusan Cocktail Companion by @michaelmadrusan and @zaramadrusan.Cheers y’all!
