Man in the Yellow Hat

The Man In the Yellow Hat was devised by Sean Saunders at Devon in New York City, and presumably named for Curious George’s patient guardian from the beloved children’s book series.
Indeed, the drink tastes like something the character would enjoy, with rich banana-bread flavors and a warm sun-tinged nutty spice. It’s a wonderful drink for sipping by the window as you calmly watch your adopted monkey ward wreak adorable mayhem in the neighborhood.

- ¼ part Walnut liqueur
- ¼ part Cinnamon syrup
- 2 dashes Aromatic bitters or Walnut bitters
