Banshee

A creamy banana-and-chocolate dessert cocktail — the banana sibling of the Grasshopper, swapping crème de banane for crème de menthe alongside crème de cacao and cream, all shaken cold and poured up. It drinks like a boozy banana-chocolate milkshake: ripe and sweet up front, a soft cocoa depth beneath, knit together by a velvety cream body. The drink is associated with mid-century New Orleans, where Nick's Original Big Train Bar and its proprietor "Mr. Nick" Castrogiovanni built a reputation on liqueurs hand-shaken with whole cream.
