Banana Alexander

Banana-lovers, rejoice! This little number by Kaleb Cribb at Atlanta’s Holeman and Finch is a perfect blend of simple, lovely flavors.

Protip: Those cheap, bright-yellow banana liqueurs (like 99 Bananas or DeKuyper) are pretty acrid and don’t taste much like real banana. You might want to hold out on this one until you can find a really good banana liqueur, since it makes up such a huge component of the drink. We’re huge fans of Giffard’s Banane du Bresil liqueur – we haven’t yet found a substitute that tastes anything like it.

Typically when we call for cream we mean sweet cream or half-and-half, something with 10-15% fat. That holds true here, but we’ve used regular milk and served it over ice for a lovely nightcap as well.

Ingredients

Instructions

Shake everything (except the nutmeg) with ice and strain into a small, cold cocktail or coupe glass. Grate the nutmeg over the drink.

Cocktail Party app on tablets and phones

Get the App

The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It's the best $3.99 you'll ever spend on a drink.

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
