Banana Bread Old-Fashioned

Bill Brillinger | Atlanta

Cocktail illo

In this Old-Fashioned, reminiscent of chocolate-studded banana bread, the secret ingredient is “Banana Bread Bitters,” made with equal parts Fee Brothers Walnut Bitters and Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters. Bar manager Bill Brillinger recommends Old Forester for this drink, “because I get chocolate notes from the bourbon.”
