A banana-forward Rum Bomb and Zombie variation that kills!

This is the Banana Farmer from our viewer Chase Hoffman in Denver Colorado. Here’s what he has to say about his cocktail:

This is the Banana Farmer, an original cocktail I created about a year ago as an homage to Donn Beach and my favorite rum, Smith & Cross. Smith & Cross is a navy strength Jamaican rum with an intense “hogo” as well as notes of ripe banana and tropical fruit. The template for this drink follows Donn Beach’s Planter’s Punch and Zombie, especially with an overproof rum being the focus. The other key ingredient is Giffard Crème de Banane, which has an obvious strong ripe banana flavor, but with underlying note of burnt sugar like a crème brûlée. These key ingredients are complimented by lime and pineapple juice, Velvet Falernum, and Angostura bitters. The result is a tiki cocktail that is playfully tropical while having a serious kick from the overproof Jamaican rum.
