Banana liqueur: 3 recipes at home

Briefly about liquor

Banana liqueur – This is a thick sweet drink with the most intense taste and aroma of the corresponding tropical fruit.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of store-bought liquors do not meet at least one of the above parameters. Thus, the only way out for lovers of this delicacy is to make banana liqueur at home.

2. Liquor cannot be prepared on the basis of poor quality moonshine.

3. All recipes use medium sized bananas.

What to drink with banana liqueur

The liqueur is best served with fruit or berries, preferably with oranges, apples and strawberries. It also harmonizes well with pastries, sweets and chocolate. In the latter case, Whisk recommends white or milk chocolate, since dark and, especially, black varieties, in combination with this rather sweet drink, will be noticeably bitter.
