The Long Shot doubles down on banana, layering infused bourbon with banana liqueur for a rich, tropical sweetness that could easily tip into cloying territory. Fernet Branca intervenes with its bitter, mentholated edge, cutting through the fruit and adding unexpected complexity. Lemon juice brightens the drink while orgeat contributes a subtle almond undertone, balancing the bold flavors into something surprisingly cohesive. Served long over pebble ice, it drinks easy despite its assertive personality.
