From Tempus Fugit Spirits in Switzerland comes Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane, distilled from ripe bananas with no artificial colours or flavours.
Tempus Fugit Spirits are renowned for recreating fine and rare liqueurs that were once popular in classic and pre-prohibition cocktails. With a focus on cocktail modifiers, and a knowledge that these were once drunk neat as aperitifs or digestifs, they seek to create liqueurs with great pride and care by the best distilleries and liquorists.
Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane takes inspiration from the beginning of the 20th century when the banana changed from being an exotic fruit to one of the most popular in the world. Images by Paul Gauguin and Henri Rousseau depicted the banana as a romantic symbol of remote islands and tropical colonies.
Based on historical recipes, Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane offers authentic flavours and aromas that can often be lost in modern banana liqueurs. Perfectly matured bananas are distilled in small batches to extract their full flavour, lending an amber golden colour from the fully ripe fruit. No artificial colours or flavours are added. The banana liqueur is made naturally from extracts and distillation of bananas.
Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane is bottled at 26% ABV and goes well with Tiki drinks and any cocktail recipes with a cream of banana liqueur. Below are some cocktail suggestions.
