Irish cream is a core ingredient. Substituting significantly changes the drink's character, but heavy cream with a splash of vanilla extract could approximate the richness in a pinch.
Use a ripe banana at room temperature; frozen banana makes the drink too thick and dilutes texture. Chill the glass and other ingredients instead.
Do not batch with the banana — it oxidizes and becomes grainy. Mix liqueurs and cream ahead; blend or shake with fresh banana just before serving.
Kahlúa is standard, but any coffee liqueur works. Darker roast-based liqueurs (like Tia Maria) add deeper coffee flavor.
No — Irish cream and light cream are core ingredients. Coconut cream is a possible substitute, though it changes the traditional flavor profile.
