A nostalgic dessert-style cocktail inspired by the iconic Crunchie Bar, this drink blends chocolate, banana and rum that combine with the honey for the perfect base.
Golden Monkey
Featuring chocolate fat-washed rum, banana oleo and a honeycomb 1:1 syrup made with The Southerly for a smooth, smoky sweetness. The rum is fat-washed with Crunchie Bar chocolate, banana oleo adds richness and the homemade honeycomb syrup deepens the flavour. Finish with orange and mandarin bitters and saline solution to bring saltiness, notes of fresh zest and a tad of spice. Her Golden Monkey is garnished with a honeycomb tuile for crunch and flair.
“I loved using the whisky-infused Mānuka Honey in multiple layers, from syrup to garnish. It added a warm caramelised note and made every element more expressive. It’s an absolute dream to work with behind the bar.”
