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.
