An homage to the Savannah Bananas. Bottom of the Banana is a rich, layered cocktail inspired by baseball’s final inning moments and Southern tropical flavors. Creamy banana pairs with LAVA Piña Colada Mix and pineapple, finished with a bold dark rum float for depth and drama. Served over ice, this version is indulgent, cocktail-forward, and made for adult fans who like a little flair in their glass.
