Rum-Bar overproof might work great! As for a hungover cure, a cheesy omelet with avocado, some coffee and plenty of electrolytes always does the trick for me🗿👍
Would have been better back then too since the gros michel banana was still common. They say they tasted more like the banana flavoring we know versus the bland bananas we eat today.
Your thumbnail photos, with the recipe, truly make my cocktail phone photo album look amazing. Appreciate that. I love the collins/highball glass with the print. Where can one get a set of those? Cheers.
Getting back to frozen, blender drinks that can be SO tasty. And upgrading them with choice of rums, bitters, etc. Another reason why I enjoy this channel. Is that the VitaMix from Costco?
My gut feeling when you started listing the alternative rums people suggested was that many were too heavy and intense for such a light, mildly flavored drink. Heavy duty Jamaican and Demerara rums are going to stomp all over the banana and milk. I'm thinking maybe an Appleton, maybe Blackwell, maybe Plantation Stiggins' Fancy. Something with a bit more distinctive character than your typical Puerto Rican rum, but not something super intense.
Great video! Call me crazy but to avoid that texture issue or having to strain, instead of a whole ripe banana what about using a 4 oz tub of banana baby food? It's already pureed and contains no additives or sugar since it's for babies.
Liquado de platano was one of my favourite things as a kid, I'm sure a Banana Cow would be up my alley. I don't have a drink mixer so I'd probably do the original recipe in blender, but with Havana Club since that's the light rum I usually have.
Hi Derek, I am visiting LA this summer and I was wondering if it’s possible to visit Trader Sam’s Tiki Room without having tickets to the Disney park. Also, is it worth the trip if I’m staying downtown?
Trader Sam's is at the Disneyland Hotel. You don't need a park ticket. You will have to pay for parking or park far away. Go early because it's usually packed. I would say it's worth the drive from downtown. I lived in Burbank and went there often.
Great comparison. I ordered one of these at Trader Vic's Emeryville and the bartender did a good job replicating the version that included a little vanilla (via syrup, not extract that is called is called for) and blended it. It was fantastic and avoided the chunking issue when using a drink mixer. I really liked this.
You really completed the hole left in my life when Distinguished spirits quit.
Derek has to work on getting his voice a little deeper. :D
Do you know why he stopped making videos? Those got me through the pandemic!

I do wonder what the difference would be with using a Gros Michel vs cavendish banana...
The best Banana Cow that I ever had was at Trad’r Sam in SF. I believe it might’ve been more like the 2.0 version but with a more generic dark rum.

If only someone would make a banana liqueur video 🤔
Tropical Standard's Banana Bunch says hello!
It’s makes a appearance. Tune in next week!
Gros Michael - Miami Fruit has it in Season
If you’ve never had it, howlers head banana whiskey is legit. It tastes a lot more like real bananas than it does banana flavouring
I think I am going to try this with subbing Tropical Standard's banana liqueur for the sugar.

Thanks! I think the glass is from barconic

Thank you, and yes this is the Costco Vitamix

My hangover cure was an IV. Works everytime. Not easy to have on hand all the time... lol

Yum banana is my favorite
You need to use The Funk rum. It will intensify the banana flavor.
Ugh...the "B" word again... That's "barf," for those who don't know me and my position on bananas. 😅
🍌 much more to come!
Hi Derek, I was wondering, since you've made a decent amount of Banana cocktails on the channel, have you ever made and drank the Fay Wray?
I haven’t, but it’s on my list of things to do soon.

@@murrayclown5818 I went there, spend over an hour and $80 on an Uber to get there, just to get denied because I had a European ID card😭😭
Amaizing drink with good rum!
Excited to try this one
Hangover cures are definitely a real thing
Not ones that involve rum
In order, I'd use a super funky Jamaican or a demerara
Hahahaha and that's what everyone picks lol

I’m glad I didn’t run across your post until I filmed this, otherwise I would have had to find those glasses.
