overpowered by funk

1 oz Silver Cachaça (Novo Fogo Bar Strength)
1/2 oz Cynar
1/2 oz Crème de Banane (Tempus Fugit)
2 dash Angostura Bitters

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube.Two weeks ago, I put out a call for bartenders to submit drinks named after song titles or lyrics from The Clash for an article in Alcohol Professor. I was planning on using my Lost in the Supermarket for the article until another bartender called dibs on it. Therefore, I decided to craft another drink by looking for inspiration in the band's discography. From their 1982 album Combat Rock, I latched onto the Overpowered by Funk. My mind went to the cachaça and Jamaica rum duo from the Jah Rule two nights before, and I paired it with the funky amaro Cynar as well as crème de banane since it worked with with Cynar in the Banana Clipper. The combination lived up to its name as it started with grassy, pineapple, herbal, and allspice aromas. Next, a caramel-driven sip transformed into funky-grassy rum, bitter herbal, banana, allspice, and clove flavors on the swallow.
