Ingredients

• Mezcal — 1 oz (30 ml)

• Giffard Banane du Brésil liqueur — 1 oz (30 ml)

How to make it

1. Stir over ice to chill and dilute a bit before pouring over your big cube.
2. If the Giffard is sweet enough, you might not need any additional sweetener.
3. For some, it might be a little too sweet; if that's the case, use 1/4 ounce less Banana.
4. If it's too sweet, reduce the amount of banana liqueur by 1/4 oz.
