Well, meet his cousin, Old Pal. If you haven\u2019t already guessed, the Old Pal is a spin-off of the Boulevardier. Much like its cousin, the Old Pal has almost an identical makeup, except that it features dry vermouth instead of sweet. The dry vermouth acts like a floral-laced citrus bridge between the rye whiskey and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-us\/learn\/campari-cocktails\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Campari<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.

Instead of the traditional sweet vermouth, Todd added a hefty dose of the Italian amaro, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-us\/learn\/averna-cocktails\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Averna<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.

The Bananarac is a fruity riff on the famous Sazerac cocktail, featuring potent banana liqueur. It\u2019s joined by the classic rye and Cognac blend and seasoned with demerara sugar and aromatic bitters. The Bananarac has the soul of a Sazerac with a tropical banana spirit that\u2019s assertive enough to know it\u2019s there, but not strong enough to overwhelm your palate.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>9.
