How to Make Banana Liqueur

  1. Peel and mash 4 ripe bananas until completely smooth.
  2. In a sterilized, wide-mouth jar, combine the mashed bananas with 1 cup (240ml) vodka, ½ cup (100g) sugar syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Securely cap the jar and gently shake to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
  4. Let the mixture stand in a cool, dark place for 1 week, shaking gently once a day.
  5. After 1 week, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer to remove all banana pulp. For a super clear liqueur, filter again using a coffee filter.
  6. Transfer the clear liqueur to a sterilized bottle or airtight container.
  7. (Optional: If your sugar syrup wasn't completely dissolved, gently simmer the liqueur in a saucepan for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Let cool completely before bottling.)
