Banana Bliss

What is Banana Bliss?

An under-seen entry from the 1937 Cafe Royal Cocktail Book inspired this riff on the Banana Bliss, created by Caitlin Laman, beverage manager at the Ace Hotel Chicago. Originally, the recipe called for shaking equal parts cognac and banana liqueur, but Laman adds oloroso Sherry to the mix and stirs it to preserve the sharpness of the base flavors.
