Every year around May the Fourth, Backbar in Somerville changes into "Ackbar" and does its annual Star Wars week. On Wednesday of that week from their themed menu, I selected the Banakin's Downfall that was subtitled "before he turned into Vader, he was sipping Margaritas." When I asked Sam Treadway for the recipe, I inquired why there were two banana liqueurs in the mix. He replied that the Giffard was for brightness while the Tempus Fugit one was for caramel notes and depth. Once mixed,the Banakin's Downfall greeted the senses with a banana and cinnamon bouquet. Next, lime and caramel on the sip led into agave, hints of nutty and spice, and boat loads of banana flavors.
