This is good. It is tart. But fresh. And there’s a fair bit going on. The banana is just there. Didn’t expect to like it as much as I did.

We did also add a little sugar syrup to be fair.

Smooth and fresh, well balanced. A new favorite here!
P.s I did add 10ml of Agave syrup after the initial tasting.

Do you want to drink Cachaca with a hint of bitterness and acidity? Then this is the drink for you!

This is absolutely a cachaca-montenegro drink with a hint of banana, but it is also absolutely delicious.

2 1/2 years later, after making a countless number of these: with a decent creme de banane it's fantastic and one of my favourite drinks, but with tempus fugit creme de banane - the one that's liquid banana bread - it's on another level.

I'd double the banana liquor to be truer to the drinks name

Richard Elgar Premium Member 2y

I agree, or at least reduce the lemon a bit. But still - an interesting and tasty drink!

Yep. I added 5ml at a time and it indeed needed another 20ml to bring it into the banana zone. To be fair some Cachacas are more ‘bananaery’ than others.
