One of Jess Pomerantz’s favorite creations, the Banana Hammock, was born during a brainstorming session with her bar manager at Smoked in Columbia, South Carolina. They wanted to create a drink that was approachable but still rich and boozy. They started playing around with warming reposado tequila and then layered it with other flavors: creamy banana liqueur, mole bitters for chocolate notes, and a pinch of salt to brighten the trio. The resulting cocktail is fruity and light but anchored in warming spice notes.
