King Louie
0
Rye and cognac are stirred with Bonal Gentiane Quina and crème de banane into a boozy, bittersweet drink with a ripe banana note and Angostura bitters in support. Created by Frederic Yarm at Drink in Boston in 2022.
Frederic Yarm created the King Louie at Drink in Boston in 2022, after a night when the bar had closed and the idea came to try banana liqueur again. The structure borrows from the 1919 Cocktail, and the name refers to the orangutan King Louie in Disney's 1967 film The Jungle Book, a character voiced by the New Orleans singer Louis Prima and absent from Rudyard Kipling's original stories. The drink also had a New Orleans character that suited the name.
