About
This cocktail was created by Dane Barca (@danebarca) at Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco, where he has been behind the bar almost since the Cove opened. It has become one of his signature drinks and remains on the menu today. Aged cachaça gives the drink a woody, grassy base that works surprisingly well with banana, while lemon keeps the coconut cream and liqueur from becoming too rich. The combination also develops a thick, fluffy texture when shaken, which makes the name pretty fitting. Freshly grated cinnamon is often used as the garnish, but I went with a banana slice here.Cheers y’all!
