Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane Liqueur is a Liqueur from the Tempus Fugit Liqueur brand hailing from America.

What is Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane Liqueur?

Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane Liqueur is a standout banana-flavored spirit that captures the essence of fresh, ripe bananas without the artificial taste often associated with banana liqueurs. What's truly fascinating is that this liqueur is crafted using a 19th-century recipe that incorporates real banana extract and cognac, resulting in a rich, authentic flavor that's worlds apart from typical banana-flavored products.

Why do we love Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane Liqueur?

Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane Liqueur stands out from typical banana liqueurs by using real, distilled banana eau-de-vie as its base, resulting in an authentic, complex banana flavor profile. Unlike many artificial-tasting banana spirits, this artisanal liqueur captures the essence of ripe bananas through a meticulous 19th-century French recipe, making it a game-changer for classic tropical cocktails and modern mixology alike.

How do you drink Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane Liqueur?

Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane Liqueur shines in tropical and tiki-style cocktails, adding a rich, authentic banana flavor that elevates rum-based drinks. While it's delightful on its own over ice, this versatile liqueur also pairs beautifully with desserts like chocolate cake or banana cream pie, making it a perfect after-dinner sipper year-round, though it's especially refreshing during warm summer evenings.

Nose: Ripe banana dominates, supported by subtle vanilla and caramel notes. There's a hint of tropical fruit cocktail and a whisper of oak that adds complexity.

Palate: Smooth and creamy texture. Fresh banana flavor is prominent but not artificial. Layers of butterscotch, brown sugar, and a touch of cinnamon unfold. The sweetness is balanced by a slight alcoholic warmth and a faint nutty character reminiscent of banana bread.

Finish: Medium-long with lingering banana and vanilla. A gentle spiciness emerges, along with a subtle cocoa note. The sweetness fades gracefully, leaving a pleasant, clean aftertaste with just a hint of tropical fruit.

Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane Liqueur is crafted using real bananas and a sugar cane distillate base, with no artificial flavors or colors. The bananas are macerated in the spirit, then the mixture is filtered and sweetened to achieve its rich, authentic flavor profile that captures the essence of ripe bananas.

  • Tempus Fugit's Crème de Banane is made using a 19th-century French recipe that calls for real bananas, not artificial flavorings. The liqueur's rich, authentic taste comes from macerated bananas sourced from small family farms in Ecuador.
  • Despite its name, Crème de Banane contains no dairy. The term "crème" in liqueurs refers to their syrupy texture, not their ingredients. Tempus Fugit's version is actually vegan-friendly!
  • The bottle's label features a hidden Easter egg for history buffs: a subtle nod to the Gros Michel banana variety. This type was nearly wiped out by a fungal disease in the 1950s, leading to the Cavendish bananas we know today. Tempus Fugit's recipe aims to recreate the more complex flavor profile of the Gros Michel.

      Excellent Flavors

      Delightful addition to a daquiri (0.5oz Tempus Fugit, 1oz Lime juice, 2oz rum) to impart a banana flavor without overwhelming the overall drink. Highly recommended if you enjoy that banana taste
