Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 1.5 cups White sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 2 cups Vodka
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds.

Step 2

Place the banana slices into a clean, sealable glass jar or bottle that has a tight-fitting lid.

Step 3

Pour the vodka over the bananas, ensuring they are fully submerged. If necessary, gently press the bananas down with a spoon to remove any air pockets.

Step 4

Seal the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 7 days, shaking the jar gently once a day to enhance the infusion process.

Step 5

After the infusion period, prepare a sugar syrup by combining the white sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves, creating a clear syrup. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Strain the banana-infused vodka through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl or jar to remove the banana solids.

Step 7

Stir in the cooled sugar syrup and the vanilla extract into the strained liqueur.

Step 8

Transfer the finished banana liqueur into a clean bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid for storage.

Step 9

Allow the liqueur to rest for at least 2 days before using to let the flavors meld together. Shake gently before serving.

Step 10

Store the banana liqueur in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
