Ingredients

  • 1.25 oz Virago 151 Rum
  • 0.75 oz Sandy River Distillery Banana Vanilla Rum
  • 0.75 oz Virginia peanut orgeat
  • 1 oz acid adjusted cold pressed orange juice
  • 1 oz unsweetened coconut cream
  • 1 oz super foam

how to prepare

Prep: Gather your culinary siphon, a chilled Collins glass, fresh ice, rum, banana vanilla rum, peanut orgeat, acid-adjusted orange juice, coconut cream, super foam, light domestic lager, a bar spoon, and a vanilla wafer with banana frosting for the garnish.

Mix: Combine the rums, peanut orgeat, orange juice, coconut cream, and super foam directly inside the culinary siphon with a few large ice cubes.

Shake: Seal the siphon tightly, shake well to incorporate ingredients, charge until fully pressurized, and then dispense the mixture into your ice-filled Collins glass until nearly full.

Serve: Pour the light domestic lager gently down the length of a bar spoon over the drink until the velvety foam rises proudly above the rim of the glass, then briefly rest the glass in the freezer to set the foam structure.

Garnish: Finish by placing a sweet vanilla wafer with banana frosting on top and serve immediately.
