Banana Di Amore

Pro tips

• Chill your glass before pouring to keep the cocktail cold longer without excessive ice dilution.
• Use fresh orange juice if possible; bottled juice may taste flat compared to freshly squeezed.
• Pour ingredients in order (amaretto, crème de banana, orange juice, sour mix) over ice for better flavor layering.
• Stir gently rather than shaking to preserve the delicate balance of the citrus and banana flavors.

Substitutions

• Crème de banana → banana schnapps (similar sweetness, slightly lighter body)
• Sour mix → fresh lemon juice + simple syrup (1:1 ratio for brighter, fresher taste)
• Orange juice → tangerine or clementine juice (more aromatic citrus note)
