THE STORY

We first thought of this simple combination over the summer when we were taste-testing batches of 504Bananas Foster before its official release. It's safe to say we've been waiting a long time to unveil this simple but absolutely wonderful holiday cocktail treat. We quietly and casually introduced this in our tasting room, and it's quickly become the bestselling holiday special on our menu. While it may sound like a risky combo at first, the notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and caramelized banana in our 504Bananas Foster, combined with the apple and cozy spices of the cider, make it exceptionally suited for chilly winter happy hours.
