Bananas for Grasshoppers
10m
A reinterpretation of the banana daiquiri but with "Chapulines" or Grasshoppers.
It is a sweet and fruity cocktail, that pairs well with both sweet and spicy foods, from fish tacos to spicy chicken or pineapple desserts!
Who doesn't love a banana daiquiri? It is one of my guilty pleasures. This one uses Ayuuk instead of Rum, a pasilla chilli spirit rested in Oloroso sherry casks. There's also a touch of black walnut bitters and Chapulines grasshoppers to garnish, an original cocktail for sure.
