Welcome to a delightful fusion of New Orleans dessert tradition and coffee house indulgence! Our Bananas Foster Rum Latte draws inspiration from the iconic Brennan's Restaurant creation, reimagining it as a luxurious coffee beverage. This recipe marries the rich, caramelized flavors of bananas foster with the bold intensity of espresso and the warmth of dark rum.
We start with a base of freshly pulled espresso shots using a medium-dark roast blend, which provides a robust foundation that can stand up to the sweet, complex flavors of the other ingredients. The espresso is then combined with steamed milk infused with homemade banana syrup, creating a creamy, tropical base. A splash of dark rum adds depth and a hint of booziness, while a topping of caramelized banana slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar completes this indulgent treat.
