Portland Syrups
Banana Bread Syrup
Banana Bread offers a subtle banana flavor with warm cinnamon and nutmeg. In coffee it's not overpowering, just delicious and comforting. Think slow weekend morning, second cup, no rush.
It's built primarily for coffee drinks, where the spices have room to bloom and the banana stays soft in the background. But the same backbone that makes it work in a latte makes it surprisingly fun in a cocktail — bourbon and dark rum both pick it up nicely.
Tasting Notes: Ripe banana, warm cinnamon, toasted nutmeg, gentle molasses
