Recipe

• 3 parts hazelnut liqueur (like Frangelico)

• 3 parts golden rum

• 1 part coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa)

Shake with ice and strain into a small wine glass. Put a slice of banana on the glass.

I made this up to honour my mum visiting for a few days. She loves hazelnuts, so I thought it'd be a good chance to make something of the Frangelico I never think of uses for.

I thought I'd base this on a Godfather or Rusty Nail – half spirit, half liqueur. But I thought it could do with something a bit interesting in the background, like a chocolate flavour, and I remembered how well Kahlúa worked in a Jaffa Cake. So that gave us the recipe.

It wasn't exactly bad, but too sweet and not enough depth of flavour! Something like cocoa bitters, dark rum or citrus juice or zest might make it more interesting. I think I'll try again soon.
