How to make a Banana Old Fashioned - Toronto cocktail variation
How to make a Banana Old Fashioned - Toronto cocktail variation
#oldfashionedcocktail #bourbon #drinks
This cocktail recipe is one of my favourite Old Fashioned cocktail variation. As I already said in the video I made about the Toronto cocktail, I like the extra bitterness in the Toronto. Many times I feel the Old Fashioned cocktail recipe is too sweet so it's the best of both worlds. Now in this version of the Toronto, the extra complexity added by the banana liqueur, makes for an even better riff on the classic Toronto cocktail.
How to make this Toronto cocktail variation, the Banana Old Fashioned or the Banana Toronto... you choose. But no matter the name you choose, it is to my opinion a delicious bourbon cocktail recipe.
2 oz Bourbon
0.5 oz Banana liqueur
0.25 oz Fernet Branca
2 Dashes Angostura bitters
Lemon zest

I love Old Fashioned variation because sometimes, I feel a regular Old Fashioned is a little too sweet or flat. But let's faceit I love a good bourbon drink recipe so I'm always down to play with the Old Fashioned cocktail recipe.

I lived in Niagara and partied in Niagara New York clubs and Buffalo New York clubs and I can truly say , people in Toronto do not know how to make a cocktail. It is due to , too many years of primitive liquor laws.People have short memories on how it use to be and the reason why small town Ontario hotels were allowed to serve booze ( The Eton House ) and so many others , is the government didn't want drunk people on the streets , they hoped people would get a room and sleep it off. So much for that idea.
Looks like I have my shopping list for the weekend.

I just made a Toronto Cocktail Old-Fashioned and I love it. Now I'll have to try your version with banana. Sounds tasty. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Just made this and.. yum! I'm a big fan of the Giffard banane du brésil because of the really fresh banana flavor it has, but this time I used the Tempus Fugit banana liqueur to get a spiced, cooked flavor and Old Grandad bonded (50% ABV) bourbon. Living in San Francisco, we drink a ton of Fernet Branca so I have plenty on hand... that small hit really made the difference here. Hell, this was just glorious. Thanks for the spec.
Banana goes so well with an old fashioned - I'll have to try it with the fernet branca

Yet an absolutely another thoughtful variation. This is not crazy or far fetched, the banana note is very common in whiskey's, especially in jack daniel's (single barrel select), but I get ripe banana in japanese whiskey's too especially Niika Coffey Grain. I don't use my japanese whiskey nearly enough, I did 2oz - Nikka Coffey, .5oz - Tempus Fugit Banane, .25oz Fernet del Frate, 2 dashes ango, 2 dashes house made chocolate rye bitters. I have people coming over on Sunday, I will definitely make a round of these, but your variation, I would be afraid to serve mine.

Just made it for the first time and am tasting it while I write this. At first sip it wasn't sure what to make of it but the more I sip the more I tend to like the combination of Banane du Brezil and Fernet. I agree that most Old Fashioned variants are a bit too sweet. Comparing from memory, this Banana Old Fashioned isn't less sweet, but the Fernet and the lemon zest give it a lot more complexity. Still not completely sold on it but this is an interesting entry to playing with Fernet.

Well, made this cocktail with monin banana liquer - also tastes good, but maybe need to pick different whisky, too oaky (mine is Jim Beam double oak). Thinking of rye. But anyway on the palate its very pleasant, maybe it will be my favourite old fashioned. Thanks dude!
I too am bananas for banana cocktails I always have a bottle of Tempis Fugit Creme de Banane! I don’t support Bulleit and I think if you look into their family’s recent history you won’t support them either! On a positive note I have been in the beverage industry for nearly 20yrs and your channel is beautifully produced! Maybe we can talk shop sometime! Cheers!

@@TrufflesOnTheRocks lol... No man, you mix a mean drink. I'd be happy to have one of your creations touch my lips, but your way of naming the drink, that leaves something to be desired. The key here is the word variation. A drink is like a person, it has a structure and body. The person can change hair styles, can gain or lose weight, can wear different clothes, but they are always the same person. But if you change the person, make them someone else, it doesn't matter what you call them, it isn't who you want them to be. If you take a drink where the body is made of whisky and bitters with an orange garnish, and you sub in rum and simple, you aren't making the original drink but something entirely different. It's not a variation, it's something totally new with the orange garnish. It's a stranger wearing a matching jacket, not the person you were looking for at all.

Well I have to say with all respect that I disagree with you. Your example is too vague for me. Making something with different ingredients but using a similar template or a template very close would be to me inspired by... on the other hand I also think that you can make something with all the same components but with a complete different approach and still be « allowed » to say you were inspired by the original. That said, as you say, this makes for something completely different and to me that’s the definition of variation. Because if it ain’t different it’s the same no? That’s probably all my years at making cocktail competition that got me thinking that way. We’re always asked to make variations on classic but at the same time to be creative. I once made a cocktail « inspired » by a corpse reviver #2 that was a stirred drink with no acidity. The lemon was there but in the form of a vapor...
