Just made this. This cocktail is AWESOME. I finally caved in today and bought Smith & Cross, having this cocktail in mind, and it did not disappoint. A keeper!
I just made this and it's absolutely delicious. Thanks for the recipe, Chase and for the demo, Leandro! I'm posting this comment after one sip because I can tell that by the end of the cocktail I will not be able to see straight.
I have to try that recipe. Looks good. Just by chance I made something a bit like this the other day (July 2024). I used tequila instead of rum. I was shocked at how harmoniously the tequila and banana blended. I added a few drops of St Elizabeth Allspice dram instead of Falernum. This touch of Allspice and cinnamon is a perfect compliment to the banana. Just a touch of lime or it gets too sharp and overwhelms the banana. 2 Tres Agaves or Arette tequila 1 Giffard banana 1/4 Lime Juice 6 drops St Elizabeth Allspice Dram
Nice work on this one, and great cocktail Chase. I appreciate the rants and history behind the drinks, they make me feel like I can expand my bar and know why I'm doing it. Cheers
Oh cool. It's awesome that you give fan's a opportunity to show their work and you presented so we'll. I am not a banana fan, yet this sounds nice, i may reduce the alcohol content and try it.
I love Smith across, however I just got my hands on my first bottle of Dr. Bird. Since I’m out of Smith and Cross, I will sub that and oh my God that did not disappoint
Add me to the S&C fan club. I can't believe how good it is. I'm happy to use it on its own in almost any tiki lol. This one looks good, look forward to checking it out if I come across some banana liqueur
Hey Leandro, I've got a newbie question- can I, and if so in what proportions, switch a hard to get juice like passion fruit for a passion fruit mixer, like the ones made by Monin?
How long are the sippy cylinders? Looking at buying some from surfside sips. Going for 6" for rock glass but I'm a bit unsure if they are sufficient for high ball like the one used in this video
Maybe this is a stupid question, but can I use pisang ambon instead of the banana liqueur? 12 mile limit was delicious, btw! What do you think about replacing grenadine with luxardo cherry syrup?
I found both the Tempus Fugit and Giffard actually and picked up the Giffard, It was delicious. I did add a bar spoon of cinnamon syrup though, it just sounded good. Thanks for the great content.
Sir im a bartender from Philippines in the island of boracay. Can u make a video of my original mix drinks if its okay to you. This drinks is kind refreshing drinks. Heres the ingredients. 22.5 of beetroot puree mixed with cane sugar 30ml lemon juice a pinch of Mint Leaves, rosemary syrup about 15ml.a little piece of ginger to be muddle and lastly 45ml Don papa 7yrs.shake over ice and serve in highball glass, garnish with Dehydrated lemon and mint sprigs. hope you will see this and try my recipe. Godbless Sir. The name of my cocktail is '' Malaya" or freedom in English. And whatever ur suggestion regarding to my drink tell me sir thank you. Im Vince from Philippines
I don't get the relevance. Imbibing spirits will get you drunk. The Zombie has lots of spirit. People may be low tolerance. It's easy to get drunk on 2 drinks.
Spirits of diff % makes drinks lower % - chemistry. Of i make a drink i use 70% vodka + some juice or coke and its still high %. That can make you drunk after 3/4 drinks

Today I learned Creme de Banana is a thing. This drink sounds REALLY good. Nice presentation as always!
Chase Hoffman I'm impressed!
Mr Hoffman theory crafted this drink for 12 months before presenting it.
Thanks!

I had two last night. Though I had to substitute Smith and Cross with Pusser's Gunpowder proof. Delicious.
Oh, didn't realize this was such an old video. Just saw it a couple days ago and today I made the drink. Excellent!
Nice work on this one, and great cocktail Chase. I appreciate the rants and history behind the drinks, they make me feel like I can expand my bar and know why I'm doing it. Cheers
Thank you!
Mixed one of these yesterday, such a great drink!!

You could cut the recipe overall by 25% or use a bit less S&C.
I love Smith across, however I just got my hands on my first bottle of Dr. Bird. Since I’m out of Smith and Cross, I will sub that and oh my God that did not disappoint
Does anyone else get thirsty watching this channel?
Wow
Great video! Are Velvet Falernum and Falernum interchangeable?
Yes
Wow, that’s a mighty stout cocktail. The last step in the instructions should be to confiscate your guest’s car keys and call Uber.
Jim Fererro yessir it should!
This sounds so great. Love the viewer cocktail series, and creme de banana is a big favorite in our house.
Great! Thanks for that. Is there any substitute for Velvet? Thanks again!
The only sub would be making your own which is pretty easy
The Educated Barfly thank you sir!

I like that sippy cylinder reference ;D

I only have Bols Banana, can it still work?
“The uh.....the uh....the ummm.....” this is ur brain after 35. I feel ya
He had his straw on hand?!?!
Hey Leandro, I've got a newbie question- can I, and if so in what proportions, switch a hard to get juice like passion fruit for a passion fruit mixer, like the ones made by Monin?
If we don’t have Smith and Cross, would you suggest subbing out another overproof rum like Wray &Nephew? Or just a regular proof Jamaican rum?
Plantation Xaymaca or Hampden Estate would work
Can you substitute velvet falernum for falernum syrup? I currently have a bottle of BG Reynolds on hand.

12 mile limit was delicious, btw! What do you think about replacing grenadine with luxardo cherry syrup?
Also thinking about doing that since I don't really know what to do with the Pisang. Have you tried it?
What is the best banana to use if I do not use giffard?
there are several but I'm pretty sure Marie Brizzard makes a good one
The Tempus Fugit Creme de Banana is fantastic, it tastes richer like banana bread.
mommylap I agree one of my faves but not too widely available :(

I see the way this has been going. Introducing the next cocktail: “Glass full of ice”
I’m sure you’ve been asked this a million times but where is the straw from? I really want to get some.

Definitely a zombie riff. High booze content! I'm not sure what the white rum adds tbh.
Next time put a little brown sugar on your banana before torching
First like,view and coment

Lots of spirit
