Bakersfield, CA — Tucked atop the Panorama Bluffs, Panorama Liquors has long been a fixture in Oildale, offering an eclectic array of drinks and unique cocktail kits. Among the standouts in this viral drink hotspot is the Banana Beer, a quirky yet delightful concoction that combines the flavors of dessert and alcohol in one fun, accessible package.
At a wallet-friendly price of $9.99, the Banana Beer cocktail kit promises an easy and sweet indulgence with all the necessary ingredients to craft the drink in the comfort of your home.
The kit includes:
One large plastic cup for ice, A 7.5 oz can of A&W Root Beer, Two 1.7 oz jars of Ole Smokey Tennessee Moonshine flavored with Banana Pudding Cream.
To prepare, simply add ice to the cup, pour in the root beer, and mix in the moonshine for a creamy, sweet treat that smells like a holiday dessert. The result is a smooth, dessert-inspired drink that plays on the flavors of banana pudding and root beer float, with a kick that sneaks up after a few sips.
Tasting Notes
The first sip of the Banana Beer is a wave of banana and vanilla ice cream sweetness, akin to biting into a slice of banana bread or enjoying a piece of “Laffy Taffy.” The syrupy fizz from the root beer offers a nostalgic candy-like twist, while the subtle bite of moonshine rounds out the experience. The flavor is sweet but not overpowering, with an aroma that evokes the coziness of Thanksgiving dessert, complete with hints of sugar cookies.
However, as enjoyable as the drink is, it’s easy to overlook how quickly the alcohol takes effect, making the drink’s buzz more potent than initially expected. Despite this, at just $9.99, the drink’s surprising strength adds value to its already indulgent appeal.
