Banana Calling
This short, sharp cocktail is best described as a Banana & Fino Sherry Gin Sour. The fino and banana notes are subtle, so subtle that it is not obviously...

Good call, Dávid. I've added fresh banana as a garnish.

I like the idea of this cocktail….however, I will reduce amount of lemon juice next time.

Balanced, desert cocktail with 10 ml syrup. For aperitif, 5 ml or none is more apropriate. Really excellent and better with Manzanilla sherry than with Fino sherry (try both) in my opinion.

Giffard Banane du Bresil liqueur, Manzanilla En Rama La Gitana, and half the sugar syrup, as suggested ( I used 50/50 fructose/water syrup). Excellent as aperitif. Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I was looking for an aperitif cocktail to use my brand new bottle of Banana du Bresil iqueur :-)

I’ve made this before, but what did I use instead of Fino Sherry? I don’t have that at home, so I must have used something else? Suggestion?

Manzanilla sherry is a close alternative to fino sherry.

This is a different cocktail from the one in the description of Banana Calling which links to this from the ‘20 best creme de banane cocktails’ page. That one has spiced rum and cinnamon syrup - sounds delicious - which one is it, please?

Thanks for letting me know. 20 best page now fixed. The cocktail described with spiced rum, banana liqueur, and cinnamon syrup is a Banana Cart.

Anne, I know of the Tempus Fugit banana brand, but it's hard to come by in my area, though I do have a go-to shop I can visit to see if the can order it. They stock several other TF brands there, so I may get lucky.

I found this quite over powering with the taste of lemon and there was just a hint of banana aftertaste.
I recommend using a slice of fresh banana for garnish, it projects a nice aroma and improves the whole experience.
