Giffard Banane du Brésil Liqueur is part of our Fruit Liqueurs collection. It comes from Giffard Liqueurs Collection and is crafted in France.
Giffard Banane du Brésil Liqueur captures the essence of ripe Brazilian bananas in a bottle, offering a rich, tropical flavor that's perfect for crafting exotic cocktails. Interestingly, this liqueur is made using a unique process where the bananas are macerated in neutral alcohol and cognac, then slowly cooked to intensify their flavor, resulting in a product that's as close to biting into a fresh, sun-ripened banana as you can get in liquid form.
Giffard Banane du Brésil Liqueur stands out for its authentic banana flavor, achieved by macerating real Brazilian bananas in neutral alcohol and cognac. Unlike many banana-flavored spirits that rely on artificial additives, this liqueur captures the essence of ripe bananas while balancing sweetness with a subtle hint of spice, making it a versatile and high-quality ingredient for tropical cocktails and beyond.
Giffard Banane du Brésil Liqueur shines in tropical and tiki-style cocktails, adding depth and complexity with its rich, authentic banana flavor. While delightful on its own over ice, this versatile liqueur also pairs wonderfully with aged rum or whiskey in spirit-forward drinks, making it perfect for sipping on warm summer evenings or alongside desserts like crème brûlée or banana foster.
Nose: Ripe banana dominates, reminiscent of freshly peeled fruit. Subtle hints of caramel and vanilla emerge, along with a faint whisper of tropical flowers. The aroma is rich and inviting, without being overly sweet or artificial.
Palate: Smooth and velvety texture. The banana flavor is authentic and well-balanced, tasting like perfectly ripe fruit. Notes of brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon add complexity. There's a subtle hint of rum-like warmth, contributing depth without overwhelming the banana essence.
Finish: Medium-long and pleasantly sweet. The banana flavor lingers, gradually fading to reveal gentle spice notes and a touch of oak. A slight warmth remains, reminiscent of banana bread fresh from the oven. The finish is clean, without any artificial aftertaste.
Giffard Banane du Brésil Liqueur is crafted using ripe Brazilian bananas that are macerated in neutral alcohol and sugar for several weeks. The resulting infusion is then carefully blended with a touch of Cognac, giving the liqueur its distinctive depth and complexity while maintaining the authentic banana flavor.

View RecipesWe bought this bottle for a specific cocktail that was made by Anders Eriksson on YouTube. The banana flavor comes through very well in the cocktail and stands up well with with the other liquors included in the drink. Overall, a good value for the quality.
Terrific banana flavor for cocktails, though it tastes good on its own.
Worth the wait!
This liqueur tastes exactly like a spiced banana bread made with extra ripe bananas. If you are making a banana flavored cocktail, this should be the banana liqueur you use. While the banana flavor is strong, everything else that goes into it comes through in warm notes like eating a hot slice of banana bread. No artificial flavors or lab created chemical taste.
Very sweet, not overly, but come on, this is not for sipping. You are putting 1/4-1/2 ounce in a cocktail for sure.
It actually tastes like bananas. My wife, who loathes banana-flavored anything (other than bananas themselves) like a cocktail made with this and Monkey Shoulder Scotch. In general, you can't go wrong with Giffard.
