Don't make the mistake of buying the wrong Banana Liqueur

Giffard definitely has the most pure banana flavor. Tempus Fugit is good, though to me me, it tastes more like walnuts in banana bread, than actual banana.

Giffard is just straight up the best liqueur brand on the market. They make so many different flavours and they are all great!

Love these kinds of videos, they're so informative and helpful.

That shirt... perfect. Just a note - the Tempus Fugit stuff is good in iced coffee drinks. I tried it on a whim and it was really good, even just a tablespoon or two in a 16 ounce drink. :)

The Gros Michel still exists, it's just no longer commercially viable. You can buy them, both the bananas and the plants themselves.

I love the fluffy banana drink too, I changed it up a bit and used some chocolate bitters instead and it's quite delicious. It taste like one of those frozen chocolate bananas.

I bought a bottle of the Giffard last week to be able to make some of the cocktails recently posted to this channel. Feeling validated on that purchase 😅

This video hit a little too hard, I bought the Drillaud's at Total Wine because... just like you said I thought it's also French, might be a competitor since they didn't have Giffards, and I've never tried a Banana Liquor before. It's very disgusting. Like insanely chemically disgusting, every cocktail was terrible with it. Like you said responding to a comment "I just wouldn't drink Banana cocktails if I had to use Drillaud's. Thank you for all the work you do. Channel doubled subs since I joined last year, keep it up sir.

I’m here to defend the Tempus Fugit. Giffard is the clear winner, but I like the tobacco and leather notes I get out of Tempus Fugit. It definitely tastes darker, and I agree with Derek’s description of overripe banana flavor in it. As I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, I keep on hand a banana rum blend with Jamaican rum, Smith & Cross, and either the Giffard or Tempus Fugit liqueurs - they’re different but both are great.

I recently threw away a bottle of 99 bananas and 99 apples that I had on my shelf for 10 years. My only regret is now I would have to buy another bottle of 99 bananas if I wanted to make that liqueur from Tropical Standard. I haven't tried the Giffard, but in cocktails I love the Tempus Fugit.

Here in Brazil we have several banana cachaças, which we call “bananinha” (little banana). They are very sweet, so you can drink them without feeling too much alcohol, however, as they are cachaça-based, they contain 37-40% alcohol and get you drunk VERY, VERY quickly. They're usually just for shots, i've never seen anyone doing cocktails with it though.

I did this same test awhile ago, but my low-end was dekuyper. That one is also just banana runts with alcohol. For me, the ripeness of the tempest fugit made it the clear winner. Nothing wrong with Giffard, except I thought it was too pricey for my enjoyment of it vs. either of the others (I love banana runts).

For me the Drillaud is $24 vs Giffard $43 vs Tempus $53. I would love to see how they differ in a cocktail. I don't think most ppl will be drinking these neat.

I'm also chiming in here to say I got Giffard after seeing your Dr. Barca's Fluffy Banana video. The last time I got 99 Bananas was in college when I was naïve (and poor). 😆🍌

Love Tempus Fugit - but I’m all for baking spice notes. Really looking forward to those Mai Tai riff videos!

Great video idea! More tasting comparisons please!

Hahaha ..just bought some Giffard. I'll stick with that thanks... Love the shirt!!🍌🍌

Can't find anything near by so I made my own

Giffard Premium label has one of the best fruit liquors out there…Caribbean pineapple is also amazing

Tastes similar to the Circus Peanuts candy.
