Beach Goth

A tropical, yet bittersweet riff on a Sour/Tiki Punch from Al Sotack with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and dark chocolate 🏝🍹🍍🍌🍫
The overproof bourbon has baking spice notes that complement the roasted banana flavors in the liqueur and the bright pineapple juice. A healthy pour of Ramazzotti (Amaro with notes of sarsaparilla, orange peel) and a splash of Creme de Cacao add a nice contrasting bittersweet note of high cacao dark chocolate while the lemon juice works with the pineapple to bring acidity and balance the drink. Delicious!
1.5 oz Bonded or Overproof Bourbon (Old Forester, Old Grand-Dad, etc)
1 oz Ramazzotti (Amaro with medium bittersweetness and notes of dark chocolate, citrus peel, sarsaparilla)
.75 oz Banana Liqueur (Giffard or Tempus Fugit)
Tsp Creme de Cacao (Giffard or Tempus Fugit)
.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
.5 oz Fresh Pineapple Juice
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled Tiki mug or footed pilsner filled with crushed ice. Garnish with a swizzle stick (and a pineapple wedge, if handy)
