First experiment of the evening is Banana Nut. This came about because of another idea for a shot, Muffin Bombs, but we couldn’t find blueberry schnapps for that one… We’ll try that one eventually.
So, for now, we ended up going for a Banana Nut muffin style shot. Banana Liqueur and Frangelico’s. Half and half.
The Frangelico’s is very strong scent wise, and you get a hint of the banana. Taste wise, it is very sweet. Good combination and very smooth. As you take the shot, the nutty flavor remains strong and then the banana hits you at the end. You can adjust the amounts if you prefer a bit more banana flavoring, but overall this one works.
We also tried it as an actual “bomb”. Though, technically, we were a bit lazy and just poured it all together instead of doing the traditional dropping of the shot. We added the Banana Nut shot to A&W cream soda. It, amazingly enough, does taste a lot like banana nut bread.
Experiment: Banana Nut. Success!
Note: Again, this is a very sweet shot. Probably a finisher rather than something to start the night off with. One or two and you’ll probably be good. This is not a shot you can do all night, but definitely a fun one.
