Heaviest Weight
The Heaviest Weight, from Matt Tocco at Nashville’s Pinewood Social, is quite possibly the perfect drink for sipping poolside on a hot summer’s day. It’s got all the best tropical ingredients: rum (Tocco calls for Appleton V/X), banana, pineapple, coconut, and lime.
Normally, we’d caution you to use only the best banana liqueur here (Tocco uses Briottet Creme de Banane). Yes, a high-quality banana liqueur will shine here – but you know what? A lower-quality liqueur, like 99 Bananas or the like, will do just fine. It’s a sweet, fun, summertime drink that ought to be as easy to make as it is to drink, so don’t feel bad about clearing out the bottom shelf to make it.
Ingredients
- 2 parts Aged rum or Light rum or Pineapple rum
- 1 part Banana liqueur
- ¾ part Lime juice
- ¾ part Pineapple juice
- ½ part Cream of coconut
- 1 dash Aromatic bitters or Tiki bitters
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a tall glass and top with crushed or pebble ice. Swizzle or stir until well-chilled, and top with more ice if needed. Garnish with a dusting of cinnamon and freshly-ground nutmeg and serve with a straw.
