The Dirty Banana cocktail is a popular drink that originated in Ixtapa, Mexico. It was first created in the Dorado Pacifico Hotel, which is located right on the beach. This tropical cocktail is perfect for sipping on a hot summer day while relaxing on a sun lounger. The drink comes in a tall hurricane glass, garnished with whipped cream, and chocolate shavings. The name 'Dirty Banana' is given because of the brown color that the cocktail takes on, thanks to the combination of coffee liqueur and the banana used in the recipe.
