Recently, a friend gave me a bottle of Crème de Banane, a banana liqueur and a staple ingredient in several Tiki drinks. Since I’ve never had a bottle of this liqueur, I had some fun looking up classic recipes and experimenting with them. These are my favorite Creme de Banane cocktails:

Elephant Lips

• 1 1/2 oz dark rum
• 1/2 oz crème de banane
• 1/2 oz lemon juice
• shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass
• garnish with a lemon wedge

Bananarama

• 1 oz crème de banane
• 1/2 oz triple sec
• 1 oz cream
• 1 dash bitters
• shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass or oversized shot glass

Let me know in the comments what your favorite Crème de Banane cocktails are.
