99 Bananas Schnapps Liqueur

Product Description

99 Bananas Schnapps Liqueur: Ripe Banana Flavor at 99 Proof

99 Bananas is a banana-flavored schnapps with a very big personality. It’s bottled at 49.5% ABV (99 proof), much stronger than a typical liqueur, and it’s marketed as the only 99 proof banana-flavored schnapps. The flavor is intense and tangy, “banana to the core,” and the brand describes it as smooth, refreshing, and easy to drink. It’s made for shots, tropical cocktails, frozen drinks, and dessert-style mixed drinks.

99 Bananas is part of the 99 Brand, a lineup of full-flavor, high-proof liqueurs from the Sazerac Company, made in Louisville, Kentucky. The brand describes 99 as a 99 proof full-flavor shot that combines bold flavors with high proof for a great-tasting, intense shot. The high proof helps the banana hold its own against ice, juices, and other spirits.

What Makes 99 Bananas Different

Most banana liqueurs sit in the 15 to 30% ABV range. At 99 proof, 99 Bananas has the strength of a spirit with the flavor of a candy-sweet liqueur, which is why bartenders use it to push banana flavor through a cocktail without drowning it in juice.
