Whiskey Scene Notes

Component: macerate chopped banana peel with an equal weight of sugar and 0.5 tsp nutmeg per peel for 4–8 hours or overnight. Strain and combine the oleo with an equal weight of banana liqueur. Refrigerate airtight for up to one week, as stated by the source. The published garnish repeats Fool’s Gold wording; verify with the brand before final approval. Source does not specify glass, ice service or shaking time.
