Iz Bananaz

Rob Krueger, Extra Fancy | Brooklyn, NY

Iz Bananas cocktail Extra fancy Brooklyn

At first glance, this mix of funky cachaça and bittersweet Amaro Montenegro seems like an odd combination, but they blend together seamlessly when shaken up with the sweet and sour notes of toasty banana liqueur and lemon juice. Extra Fancy’s Rob Krueger loves a whimsical garnish, so he tops this Brazilian cooler with a feathered orange peel.
