I find unusual spirits interesting, and I want to hear about the ones you have.

Pisang Ambon, banana liqueur, I tried it in a bar in Spain, really liked it, and bought it. But what do you do with Banana Liqueur in your house? Nothing mixes well with that. Occasionally I sip it, but I've had it a decade and drunk maybe a third.

Try mixing it with vanilla ice cream? I dunno, that sounds like it could be f'n delicious as one of those ice cream drinks (like grasshoppers are vanilla ice cream and creme de menthe)

Try it and let me know! :-P

I wonder if you could use banana liqueur with milk and ice cream to make an aloholic banana milkshake...

I just found Pisang Ambon at Systembolaget, what an intencly colored bottle!

I'm sure there's one you could but the one I have curdles the milk. That was one of the first things I tried.

Do like the French and use it in cakes. Would be nice in or on banana bread or pancakes.

I have Giffard banana liqueur and it is hard to use, it does add a great element to a few drinks but you don't need much.
