Skrewball & Banana Cocktail

Table of Contents

Raise your hand if you have ever seen Arrested Development.  If you haven’t, I strongly encourage you to watch it! Imagine a family that had everything and loses it in a split second followed by a series of bad decisions….and one son who tries to keep that family together with a piece of string and hope.  If you need a good laugh, the star-studded cast will guarantee you a good time!

This year, I am introducing cocktails inspired by your favorite tv shows and characters. For Arrested Development, the family owns a chocolate-covered banana stand. You’ll have to watch the series to understand the name behind the cocktail.

I personally love Skrewball, a peanut butter whisky, and the banana liquor smells and tastes JUST like the Circus Peanuts candy. If you aren’t a fan of Skrewball, swap it out for Creme de Cacao, it’ll just be a bit sweeter! Add those flavors altogether and it’s a cocktail designed for a sweet tooth!

There is Always Smoke in the Banana Stand
