Finest Call Banana Puree 1L

Finest Call Banana Puree 1L is a non-alcoholic, ready-to-pour cocktail mixer made from real Cavendish banana puree in a 1-liter bottle. What distinguishes this puree from fresh-muddled banana is a proprietary process that preserves natural color and flavor without the oxidation and browning that plague fresh banana behind the bar.

Production & Heritage

Finest Call is produced by American Beverage Marketers, one of the largest cocktail-mixer companies in the United States, holding four U.S. and international patents related to its mixer technology. The Banana Puree uses Cavendish variety bananas sourced from Costa Rica, harvested at peak ripeness to maximize natural sugar content and aroma. A key technical achievement is the brand's proprietary method that locks in the fruit's cream-yellow color and fresh flavor, eliminating the enzymatic browning that typically occurs when bananas are exposed to air — a persistent challenge for bartenders working with fresh fruit.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Immediately recognizable as ripe banana — sweet and tropical with a gentle vanilla-like undertone. The scent is clean and natural, free of artificial candy-banana character.

Taste: The entry is smooth and distinctly creamy, tasting remarkably close to a freshly blended ripe banana. Mid-palate sweetness is moderate rather than cloying, allowing the fruit's natural flavor to lead. The texture is thick and velvety, integrating easily into both blended and shaken preparations.

Finish: A lingering sweetness fades into a mild tropical note. The mouthfeel remains rich without leaving a heavy or syrupy residue on the palate.

How to Drink Finest Call Banana Puree

This puree is designed to be measured and poured directly into cocktails — no blending of fresh fruit required. It works equally well in shaken, stirred, and blended applications.

• Banana Daiquiri: The puree's creamy body and balanced sweetness make it the backbone of a classic frozen or shaken Banana Daiquiri with white rum and lime.
• Banana Foster Martini: Pair with dark rum, butterscotch liqueur, and a dash of cream for a dessert cocktail that mirrors the New Orleans classic.
• Jungle Bird variation: Substitute for simple syrup alongside Campari, pineapple juice, and aged rum to add tropical depth and body.

Best For

• High-volume bars and restaurants that need consistent banana cocktails without prep waste
• Home bartenders building a tiki or tropical cocktail program
• Catering events featuring blended frozen drink stations
• Non-alcoholic smoothie and mocktail preparation
