Two Fridays ago, I decided to make one of the recipes that New Orleans bartender Brian Maxwell has been publishing this month on his
ShakerOfSpirits blog called the Chiquita Old Fashioned. This banana-flavored Old Fashioned featured both funky Jamaican as well as pineapple-infused rum, and it was accented by a touch of amaro and bitters; pineapple rum and crème de banane have worked well together in the past in the
Commando Life and the
Stack Banana, so I was game to give this one a try. Once prepared, the Chiquita Old Fashioned welcomed the nose with a pineapple, banana, and rum funk bouquet. Next, caramel and tropical fruit on the sip peeled into rum funk, banana, hints of pineapple, allspice, and clove flavors on the swallow.
