Tempus Fugit Creme de Banane Cream Liqueur 700ml
DescriptionTempus Fugit resurrects the golden age of cocktail culture with this meticulously crafted Crème de Banana that captures the essence of perfectly ripened tropical bananas. This artisanal liqueur transcends the artificial banana flavoring common in modern versions, instead delivering an authentic fruit experience that would have graced the finest pre-Prohibition bars. The 700ml bottle contains liquid sunshine that transforms both classic and contemporary cocktails. The nose immediately transports you to a Caribbean banana plantation, with natural banana aromas so realistic you can almost feel the tropical breeze. Unlike synthetic alternatives, this presents genuine fruit character—ripe banana flesh, hints of vanilla, and subtle caramel notes from the fruit's natural sugars. The authenticity is striking, avoiding the candy-like artificiality that plagues lesser banana liqueurs while maintaining the intensity needed for cocktail applications. On the palate, Tempus Fugit delivers creamy, luxurious texture that coats the tongue with true banana flavor. The sweetness is perfectly calibrated—present enough to balance cocktails but refined enough to avoid cloying. Layers of flavor emerge beyond the primary banana notes: hints of toffee, brown sugar, and even subtle tropical spices that add complexity. The natural fruit extraction process ensures these flavors taste genuine rather than constructed. The finish is clean and persistent, leaving a pleasant banana essence without artificial aftertaste. This liqueur excels in forgotten classics like the Banana Daiquiri or adds tropical sophistication to modern creations. The quality makes it suitable for sipping neat as a dessert liqueur, though its true calling is elevating cocktails with authentic banana flavor that synthetic versions can never achieve. Tempus Fugit once again proves that historical accuracy and modern quality can create something truly exceptional.
