With Oloroso

This cocktail challenges expectations. Banana and Sherry are a very traditional pairing when it comes to dessert but this is not a traditional dessert drink. By infusing fresh, ripe banana directly into Oloroso with the help of a centrifuge, it manages to perfectly preserve both the brightness of the banana and the nuttiness of the Oloroso. It also lends a balance of flavor that allows for the Oloroso to be the stand out star of a drink that has the heft and weight of a traditional stirred cocktail while still maintaining a subtlety and a low ABV.
