Pisang Ambon, a banana-and-herb liqueur, gives Avalon both its distinctive vibrant hue and a tropical undercurrent, set against vodka, apple and lemon juices, and a top of lemonade. The components are layered over ice in a tall glass and stirred, yielding a complex multi-fruit profile. At roughly 9 percent alcohol by volume, the drink is lightly alcoholic and visually striking, with the green liqueur defining its appearance. The apple and lemon supply sweetness and acidity in turn, while the lemonade adds effervescence and a finishing sweetness to the fruit-driven build.

조리법
Fill a tall glass with ice. Layer the Finlandia Vodka, lemon and apple juices, Pisang Ambon, and top up with lemonade. Stir slightly and garnish with a spiralled cucumber skin and a red cherry. The cucumber provides zest and looks attractive. This drink, created by Timo Haimi, took first prize in the 1991 Finlandia Vodka Long Drink Competition.

History & Origins
Avalon takes its name from the mythical island of Arthurian legend, evoking a sense of an otherworldly paradise — an appropriate choice for a colorful, tropical-inspired drink. The cocktail's origin is disputed, though its use of Pisang Ambon, a Dutch banana liqueur, suggests European cocktail bar culture of the 1980s and 1990s. The combination of multiple juices, lemonade, and a brightly colored liqueur is characteristic of the elaborate long drinks of that era.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Tropical banana from the Pisang Ambon, fresh apple, lemon, and the light sweetness of lemonade. Palate: Sweet and fruity with banana and apple flavors leading, brightened by lemon juice's tartness; vodka provides a clean spirit base and lemonade adds a sparkling sweetness. Finish: Clean, refreshing, and moderately sweet.
Pro Tip
Fill the glass with ice before building the drink, adding each ingredient in order and stirring gently before topping with lemonade.
