Durante

March 15, 2025
Inspired by the iconic Jungle Bird, the Durante takes flight with a flock of bold tropical flavors, anchored by the rich, nutty depth of Redbreast 12 Year. Pineapple-infused Campari brings a bittersweet tropical edge, while Licor 43 and Giffard Crème de Banane add layers of warm vanilla and ripe banana, evoking the lush vibrancy of a rainforest canopy. With a hint of citrus from the lime twist, this cocktail balances richness, fruitiness, and a touch of exotic spice—a whiskey-driven tiki-style sipper that soars beyond the ordinary.
