Banana Creme Martini

Leave a comment

Banana Creme Martini. Let that sink in. How good does that sound right about now? This is a great martini for a dessert martini or an any time martini, if you are on vacation. Hey, bananas constitute an acceptable breakfast food so why the heck not?

Dessert Martini

The banana creme martini probably sounds like a girly martini. Perhaps you are thinking it seems like it has no substance. However, I can assure you that this is a serious martini. It just so happens, that this serious martini is super creamy and delicious! Did you realize you could have both? I didn’t believe it until I tried it.

So what is in it that makes it so powerful? It consists of just 3 ingredients; vanilla vodka, banana liqueur, and Irish cream. Those 3 things are all that stands between you and this rich, banana martini. You have probably heard of vanilla vodka and Irish cream. If you haven’t heard of banana liqueur, surprisingly, this liqueur is a lot stronger than you would expect. One brand that I suggest is 99 Bananas. As the name implies, it is 99 proof! What’s crazy is how smooth it is. 99 proof! That’s along the lines of Bourbon and Whiskey. Those certainly are not girly drinks.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Vanilla Vodka
  • 1 oz Irish Cream
  • 1 oz Banana Liqueur

Making The Banana Creme Martini

All you need to do is measure each part, put it in a shaker with ice, shake, and pour! If you ask me, that sounds a lot easier than making a banana creme pie! And you get a potent punch along with this heavenly dessert. If that sounds like a dessert you would want, make it!

Instructions

  • Fill shaker 2/3 full of ice.
  • Measure all ingredients and add to shaker.
  • Shake well.
  • Pour into martini glass.

Garnishing The Martini Glass

Ideally, you want to play up this martini with a cool martini glass. Get the glass and garnish it with chocolate syrup. I know I mentioned this martini only consists of 3 ingredients, but to really push it over the edge, add the chocolate syrup around the inside of the martini glass. That little bit of chocolate will really bring this drink to a whole new level.

Have you started gathering your ingredients yet? If not, you need to get moving. You are wasting precious time!

Fall In Love With A Chocolate Banana Creme Martini

1 Comment

A Chocolate Banana Creme Martini sounds absolutely delicious. I mean, if you love the taste of bananas and chocolate mixed together, this creamy martini will definitely get your attention. Who doesn’t love chocolate? And bananas are good for you, right? All kidding aside, I don’t think a chocolate banana martini will be a substitute for your potassium intake, however, it sure can be a substitute for your usual dessert craving.

Ingredients Needed

This soon-to-be favorite dessert martini consists of vanilla vodka, chocolate liqueur, Irish Cream, and Banana Liqueur. A Banana Creme Martini might sound like a wishy-washy drink or fake martini, but I can assure you that this is not a martini to mess around with. The ENTIRE drink consists of alcohol and you should drink this responsibly. Keep an eye on your children, if they are around while you are drinking this. This looks like a yummy milkshake, but it is an adult drink that they should not have at their fingertips.

What To Look For When Shopping For Ingredients

As previously mentioned, this martini consists of all alcoholic ingredients. Therefore, you will need to make a trip to the liquor store (or packy as we Bostonians like to call it!) to make the Chocolate Banana Creme Martini. The majority of ingredients can be found in the cordial/mixers aisle. My favorite liqueurs for this martini are 99 Bananas, Bailey’s Irish Cream, Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, and Veil Vanilla Vodka.

In Conclusion

Basically, if you like the taste of chocolate-banana, you will love the taste of this Chocolate Banana Creme martini. If you are worried about calories, this might not be the drink for you…at least not on a regular basis. Life is all about balance, however. Skip dessert, substitute this drink for your dessert. Balance! Additionally, if you are looking to reward yourself, treat yourself to this yummy martini!
