History

Stop monkeying around and sip this gin-forward banana summery cocktail.

This drink is adapted from The Business, which itself is a variation on the Bee's Knees. The Bee's Knees was created by Sasha Petraske at his well-known Milk & Honey bar in New York City. The original recipe for this adaptation was based on Monkey 47 Gin.
