The Flight
Drillaud Crème de Banane (25% ABV)
Giffard Banane du Bresil (25% ABV)
Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane (26% ABV)
Notes
Drillaud Creme de Banane: Smells exactly like a banana Now and Later. I’d use this in a pinch where banana liqueur is a small fraction of the cocktail.
Giffard Banane du Bresil: This is pure banana, with a rich, syrupy quality. I’d put this in everything from a Dirty Banana to a banana daiquiri and more.
Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane: Wow. Many people have described the aroma as that of banana bread, and I can see why—it’s banana with a brown sugar and spice dimension. A bit boozier, too.
The Verdict
Giffard Banane du Bresil and Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane are both great to have on hand. I’d use the Giffard in a tiki drink with multiple ingredients, and I’d use the Tempus Fugit when I want to highlight banana liqueur.
