A tiki-adjacent sour built on funky Jamaican rum, the Squirrel Monkey balances tropical sweetness against bright citrus and warm spice. The banana liqueur adds ripe fruit depth without veering into candy territory, while walnut brings an earthy, tannic undertone that grounds the drink. Cinnamon syrup and fresh nutmeg reinforce the autumnal warmth, creating something that drinks like a banana bread daiquiri with a bitter, nutty finish.
