Welcome to King Louie’s Thanksgiving Day feast where all the bananas you can eat are served lol. Do you remember King Louie from the Jungle Book? You know the orangutan that was obsessed with becoming human and man’s red flower (Fire)? This delicious, tiki dessert cocktail is a tribute to this fun-loving monkey and is so easy to make. While there are other variations out there, this rum-based version is the perfect tropical treat with the flavors of rum, banana and chocolate. I’ve teamed up with Denizen and am using their white rum for this cocktail. This award-winning rum is aged 5 years and has the flavors of toasted coconut, mango, pineapple and a hint of vanilla. So, stop monkeying around and try it! Cheers!
