Birch & Maple’s Princess Consuela Bananahammock
By Craig Manning | Sept. 14, 2024
In one of our favorite episodes of the beloved sitcom Friends, the recently-married Phoebe decides to take her new husband’s last name—only to get sidetracked when she realizes she can change her name to anything she wants. She opts for the colorful “Princess Consuela Banana Hammock,” much to her husband’s dismay. Frankfort’s Birch & Maple tips its hat to this classic episode with a cocktail of the same name that combines Rittenhouse Rye, Trinity bitters, brown sugar syrup, and Combier Banana, a liqueur made from ripe Brazilian bananas. And while we don’t typically go for banana-flavored cocktails, we were pleasantly surprised by just how perfectly the sweetness of the banana balances against the bitters and the warm, spicy kick of the rye. Enjoy at 727 Main St. in Frankfort with a view of Betsie Bay. birchandmaplefrankfort.com
