The Boardwalk Flyer—a combination of  aged cachaça, vermouth and banana liqueur—is meant to evoke the feelings and flavors of a domestic beach vacation: “…there’s something very American about the idea of that,” says Boelte. But when you really get down to it, Boelte credits the original inspiration behind the banana-fied drink to be none other than Arrested Development.
