Cocktails with Banana liqueur
Banana liqueur is a sweet banana-flavored liqueur built on a neutral spirit or a rum base. The word “crème” in crème de banane refers to its high sugar and thick texture, not to dairy — there is no cream in it.
ABV17–25%
Substitutes for Banana liqueur
Banana syrup and white rum
Mixed half and half, it comes close to the liqueur in strength and sugar (usually 17–25% and 360–380 g per liter). Use the mix one for one.
Banana cream liqueur
Thick and opaque, it clouds a clear drink. Keep it for creamy ones.
Banana schnapps
99 Bananas is bottled at 49.5%, two to three times the strength. Use about half the measure and add syrup to taste.
Ripe banana
A great option in a blended drink. It gives the flavor but not the strength, and brings less sugar.
Storage
An ordinary closed shelf is enough; it does not need the fridge.
