petty crime

1 oz Smith & Cross Rum
3/4 oz Fernet Branca
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Crème de Banane (Tempus Fugit)
1/2 oz Orgeat

Whip shake with crushed ice, pour into an old fashioned glass (Tiki mug), top with crushed ice, and garnish with mint sprigs. Two Sundays ago, I rediscovered an old screenshot of a friend on Instagram posting a bitter tropical drink called Petty Crime, and I decided that it was perfect for the evening's nightcap. The recipe was created by Jon & Siobhan of SubtleTiki and was posted on both their Instagram and their blog. The Fernet-rum Daiquiri aspect of it reminded me of the Tar Pit, and the orgeat-banana duo appeared in the Brightside, Banana Hammock, and other drinks and is one that I utilized in my Escape from Monkey Island. Once prepared, the Petty Crime launched off with mint, banana, and rum funk aroma. Next, a creamy lime and caramel sip developed into funky rum, banana, nutty, and bitter menthol flavors on the swallow.
