Created in honor of the San Francisco exotica band Ape and for one of their rare concerts at the legendary Smuggler's Cove.

It's just a really nice, absolutely typical “banana tiki” drink. Nowadays, or for my preferences, it just lacks a bit of a contrasting note. Not because it's too sweet, simply because rum + banana, that's it, ok, seen that a lot. Well-balanced, also good for introducing people to tiki, nicely wedged between black rum with its licorice and coffee notes and a bit of funk.

In the original recipe, it has no decoration, because it was served in a (very cool) mug in the shape of a monkey's head that was virtually closed at the top except for the straw hole. With an open tiki mug, I would at least add a little cinnamon and banana chips/slices or similar.
