Banana liqueur is not difficult to make at home. The main thing is to choose good, ripe fruits, without dark spots, but also ripe enough. The recipe for the drink also includes vodka. You should not use stronger alcohol. Anything above 45% strength can significantly worsen the taste of the finished liqueur.

How to cook Banana liqueur

Step 1

Prepare a thick base. Mash the bananas into a puree. This can be easily done with a blender or a regular fork. Transfer the banana puree to a deep bowl. Add condensed milk and pour in milk. Add two chicken proteins. Mix the mixture with a blender until smooth.

Step 2

Combine the liqueur base with alcohol. While continuing to whisk the mixture of bananas, milk, condensed milk and egg whites, pour in the vodka in a thin stream. The liqueur should be thick, slightly viscous. Pour it into a transparent glass bottle, close the lid tightly and put it in the refrigerator for 50-60 minutes.

Step 3

Strain the drink. Take out the bottle of liqueur. Cover a bowl or saucepan with gauze and strain the drink.

Banana liqueur - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a dairy-free alternative to condensed milk in this banana liqueur recipe?

Yes, you can substitute condensed milk with coconut condensed milk or a homemade dairy-free version using coconut milk and sugar for a similar creamy texture.

How long does homemade banana liqueur last in the refrigerator?

When stored in a tightly sealed glass bottle, banana liqueur can last up to 1 month in the refrigerator. Always check for signs of spoilage before consuming.

Is there a vegetarian alternative to egg whites in this recipe?

For a vegetarian option, you can omit the egg whites or replace them with aquafaba (chickpea brine) to achieve a similar consistency without eggs.

Can I use frozen bananas instead of fresh ones?

Yes, thawed frozen bananas work well in this recipe. Drain any excess liquid before mashing to maintain the liqueur's thick consistency.

What's the best way to serve banana liqueur?

Banana liqueur is great chilled, served over ice, or used as a cocktail mixer. Try it in coffee, drizzled over desserts, or blended into creamy drinks.

Can I make a larger batch of banana liqueur and store it longer?

Large batches can be made by scaling the ingredients evenly. For extended storage, ensure airtight sealing and refrigerate, though flavor is best within 1 month.

Can I use rum instead of vodka for this banana liqueur?

Absolutely! Rum adds a richer, caramel-like flavor, making it a great alternative to vodka for a more tropical twist.

Is straining necessary if I want a thicker liqueur?

Straining removes excess pulp for a smoother texture. For a thicker liqueur, reduce straining time or blend thoroughly until completely smooth before straining lightly.
