ZALOWKA Banana Vodka, 70cl

Product Information

Peel 3 very ripe bananas and put them in a small saucepan. Add a third cup of water and a cup of sugar. Break up the bananas just enough that you can move the liquid through the pan. Let it simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. It will be foamy, but that’s normal. Turn off the heat and let cool. Strain into a clean glass jar and store in the fridge. It makes about a cup of syrup. Another recipe opts for 1 ounce each of banana rum (e.g., Bacardi, Blue Chair, Cruzan), melon liqueur, orange and pineapple juices, and sour mix. With: Gold rum, light white rum, crème de banane liqueur, Galliano liqueur, orange juice, pineapple juice and lime juice. Add a little cream. Add a splash of heavy cream or Bailey’s Irish cream if you want to ramp up the sweet creaminess in this drink. Use banana flavored vodka. Split the vodka in half and use .75 oz of banana vodka and 0.75 oz of vanilla vodka.

In addition to the classically beautiful and romantic ambiance of the vineyard and winery itself, Robert Mondavi Winery has just opened the doors to a sparkling new downtown tasting room, Arch & Tower. Located in the historic Borreo Building at 930 3rd Street, Arch & Tower is a bright new jewel in the Napa crown. Pairing a gorgeous juxtaposition of old architecture and richness with an edgy yet inviting modern flair, this new hot spot is about to take Napa by storm. The venue is relaxed yet elegant, with a large outdoor terrace overlooking the Napa River, often peppered with gondolas sparkling in the sunset. Inside, the finishes are masculine and warm, inviting you to sink in, get comfortable, and enjoy. Combine flavored syrups and non-alcoholic rum substitutes such as Lyre’s Spiced Cane Spirit, Lyre’s White Cane Spirit, or Strykk Not Vanilla Vodka. We say: Not the simple sweetie the name might suggest. Made with rum, banana, spice and all things nice. We say: Banana notes often found in whisky enhanced with a generous splash of banana liqueur. Don't expect a sweetie, despite the liqueur, this remains a dry spirituous old fashioned.

With: Speyside single malt whisky, lemon juice, crème de banane liqueur, Islay single malt peated scotch whisky, Yellow Chartreuse liqueur, cinnamon syrup and pimento dram liqueur.
