There were times when people didn’t even hear about Pisan, but here, in Ukraine, it was generally extremely unpopular, the most unsold drink in bars. But times are changing and, which is very nice, better times Pisan came thanks to the Ukrainian bartender, who came up with the most ingenious cocktail of our time - Green Mexican. But first things first.

Pizan is a banana liqueur based on a green banana emulsion. Ambon is the name of the island where, according to legend, these same bananas are taken. The first version of the drink was created by Bols International and was called Original Pisang Ambon. It is based on an ancient Indonesian recipe. Now different companies make it, but, as with, the most popular manufacturer is the Dutch company De Kuyper (De Kuyper), only they call the liquor simply Pisang. In general, you will not find much information about Pisan on the Web - somehow it did not take root in the vastness of the World Wide Web, but on the shelves of Ukrainian and not only bars, even very much.
He himself is gently green in color, with a very pleasant smell and taste. I would say that it taste qualities bring me back to my childhood - it reminds me of Duchess sweets and even Tutti-frutti chewing gum, which is a little beloved by everyone. Fortress 21%. pure Drinks well, but very sweet, so it is better to add it to cocktails. One of them breathed a second life into Pisan Ambon.
Cocktail Green Mexican - glory to Pisan
The bartenders did not know what to do with the newly-made liquor, which for some reason the managers of the establishments began to order. Today, by the number of Pisan sales, Ukraine is in first place in Europe. It all started back in 1996 in the bar "Eric's bar" (Kyiv). The bartender could not appease the two girls who demanded original cocktails from him. He had a bottle of unpopular Pisan in his hands and he asked, probably to himself: “what to do with this liquor?” He was answered by another guest of the institution - bartender Sergey Kadatsky, the future founder of the International Bartenders Center "Planet Z" and the current president of the All-Ukrainian Association of Bartenders. He came up with a recipe for a cocktail with Pisan, which determined the future of the "unfortunate liqueur".
Ingredients:
- 25 ml Pisan Ambon liqueur;
- 10 ml lemon fresh;
- 25 ml silver tequila.
Cooking:
- pour Pisan into the pile;
- use a bar spoon to layer the lemon juice;
- repeat the previous procedure with tequila.
This is a classic shot drink, that is, a Puss Cafe cocktail. The ingredients are layered quite simply and do not require much skill (for the uninformed, I have an article about that). If you don’t have a bar spoon with a spiral and a nickel on hand, use the tip of a knife or an ordinary teaspoon (coffee spoon is even better). Fresh take exactly 10 ml, no more - these are the most balanced proportions. Unscrupulous bartenders pour more of it just to save on expensive tequila and Pisan.
Green Mexican is not set on fire!!! You can drink a cocktail either in one gulp or through a straw, only from the bottom up, which corresponds to Sergei's idea: first, strong tequila, then sour juice, which will bring down the bitterness of silver, and then sweet, fragrant Pisan, leaving just the most pleasant aftertaste in your mouth.
Despite the name, this banana-flavoured sweet and sour cocktail has nothing to do with the land of the Aztecs. For the first time, his recipe appeared in Kyiv, but this did not prevent the drink from becoming popular all over the world in two decades. I will show you how to make a Mexican Green smoothie at home. You will need no more than 5 minutes.
History reference. The Green Mexican cocktail was invented in 1996 by Ukrainian bartender Sergey Kadatsky. One day, many bottles of Pizang Ambon banana liqueur, which was not popular with visitors, were brought to the Kyiv bar where he worked.
Sergey was given the task to sell this liquor. He started experimenting with ingredients in an attempt to create a delicious new cocktail. A few weeks later, the "Green Mexican" appeared. At first, the drink was known only in the bars of Ukraine and Russia, but thanks to emigrants, the recipe spread throughout Europe, and then came to the USA.
Why the cocktail is named that way is unknown. Most likely, because it contains tequila, and the cocktail itself is green.
Composition and proportions:
- green banana liqueur "Pizang Ambon" - 25 ml;
- fresh lemon juice - 10 ml;
- silver (clear) tequila - 25 ml.
Many bartenders replace banana liqueur with the more common melon counterpart Midori, claiming that the taste hardly changes. But in the classic version, it is Pizang Ambon that is used.

3 Heroic cocktail for real thrill-seekers
A cocktail with the intriguing and disturbing name "Death of a Mexican". It differs from the "Green Mexican" in its extraordinary strength, composition and manner of presentation. Many say that after such a mix it is simply impossible to stand on your feet. Interested in what's in it? It would seem that the ingredients are quite familiar and individually absolutely familiar, but together it's just a "thermonuclear bomb".
To prepare it, take a glass of light beer, always without foam. A quarter of the glass is left empty, because in a moment it will be filled with tequila. And before tequila, literally a couple of drops of hot Tabasco sauce and a pinch of salt should be added to the beer. Then the tequila, poured into a glass, is lowered into a glass with beer, and here the fun begins. The mixture begins to foam actively due to the abundant release of carbon dioxide. The cocktail should be drunk as quickly as possible, ideally in a few sips and it is advisable not to spill a single drop. If you succeed, you are a true professional.
Summing up, I would like to say that "Death of a Mexican" is the perfect drink for those who want to quickly get drunk.
