1
Combine Ingredients
In a bowl, mix the whole milk, sugar, and lemon juice until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2
Strain the Mixture
Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another bowl to separate the curds from the whey. Let it sit for about 30 minutes.
3
Collect the Clarified Milk
After straining, the liquid that remains is your clarified milk wash. Set it aside for later use.

4
Infuse the Rum
Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a jar. Pour the Havana Club Rum over the bananas, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 24-48 hours.
5
Strain the Infusion
After the infusion period, strain the rum through a fine mesh sieve to remove the banana solids. The resulting liquid is your banana-infused rum.

6
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 60 ml of the banana-infused Havana Club Rum, 30 ml of lime juice, and 4 dashes of tiki bitters.
7
Shake the Cocktail
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
8
Strain into Glass
Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the cocktail into a chilled glass filled with ice.
9
Add Clarified Milk Wash
Layer the clarified milk wash over the top of the cocktail gently to create a beautiful presentation.
