Banana liqueur

• Liqueurs
• Alcoholic

Banana liqueur, known in France as crème de banane, is a neutral spirit flavoured with an extract made by distilling and macerating ripe bananas, then sweetened with sugar. Canary yellow in colour, it smells of ripe banana, sometimes with vanilla or spice. Styles range from rich, dessert-like bottlings to drier, more spirit-forward ones. In cocktails it gives body and banana aroma to blended drinks and daiquiris, where fresh fruit alone often tastes flat.

Strength: usually 25% ABV (legal minimum 15%).
