B – A – N – A – N – A – S Recipe

Build and chill

Fill a highball or Collins glass with ice (about 1 cup). Pour 2 oz Bumbu Original Banana Rum over the ice.

Add modifiers

Add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup to the glass to balance the banana rum's sweetness and brighten the flavors.

Top with cola

Slowly top the drink with 4 oz Coca-Cola to preserve carbonation and create a layered effect. Gently stir once with a bar spoon (4–6 gentle turns) to integrate.

Finish with bitters

Add 2 dashes Angostura bitters on top; let them float briefly to add aromatic complexity and mild spice that complements the banana and cinnamon notes.

Garnish the drink by placing 1 cinnamon stick into the glass standing upright or angled so it rests against the rim. Thread a single banana slice on the rim and add a lime wheel on the opposite side for color and an optional squeeze.

Optional aroma: hold the cinnamon stick briefly over a lighter or culinary torch flame (a quick 1–2 second warm moment, not burning) to release oils, then place it in the glass for an intensified cinnamon aroma.

Serve immediately with a straw (if desired). Recommend encouraging the drinker to stir gently before the first sip to combine flavors fully.
