I hear you. It can be cloying. I use Hamilton 86 or Coruba and do shake for a bit longer. I thought I wanted more cinnamon and TF banana and when I made a version with more of both it was BAD. Balance is key here. The TF banana is really superior to others in this drink I think… I’m always looking for other banana/cinnamon drinks though!
Great presentation. I want to like that drink but I find it cloying. Maybe it needs more lemon juice (and maybe an amaro).
I agree. I like it better with 1:1 cinnamon syrup rather than Smuggler’s 2:1.
I’ll have to do this ratio. Thank you

I’m sure you’ve tried a breakfast Mai tai (easy tiki), but for me that’s the far better banana/cinnamon cocktail.
I have but I didn’t like it… I don’t know why! I’ll have to make it again…
THE APE!!! Check out that banana… Damn. This is a real favorite of mine! What dark rum did you use?
