ends of the earth

2 oz Añejo Tequila (Cimarron Reposado)
1/2 oz Giffard Crème de Banane (Tempus Fugit)
1/2 oz Amaro Nardini

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Fridays ago, I returned to the KindredCocktails database to make the Ends of the Earth by user Applejack from Chicago in 2019. Overall, the combination reminded me of the Away Colors with añejo tequila and Amaro Nardini in place of the añejo rum and Fernet. Once mixed, it greeted the nose with an orange, caramel, and banana aroma. Next, the amaro and liqueur's caramel notes filled the sip, and the drink progressed into vegetal, caramel, cooked banana, and herbal flavors on the swallow.
