Pisang Ambon Liqueur

Pisang Ambon is the vivid green Dutch banana liqueur that for decades has been the secret ingredient behind countless colourful cocktails. The colour is as iconic as the flavour, and a bottle on the bar is often enough to signal that something sweet and exotic is about to be shaken. This is nostalgia in liquid form for anyone who ever worked a bar in the 90s or 2000s.

  • Clear green liqueur in a tall bottle, banana liqueur from the Netherlands
    Item no.: 22227865378-1009000

    The signal-green colour in the glass is unmistakable - Pisang Ambon has stood on bar shelves since 1948, carried by a recipe that travelled from Indonesia's banana groves to the Dutch house of Bols.

    Expert's Description

    Pisang Ambon is a Dutch banana liqueur at 17% ABV from the house of Bols, made following a traditional Indonesian recipe that Bols has produced since 1948.

    The liqueur is known for its vivid green colour and sweet, ripe banana flavour, and its name comes from the Indonesian word "pisang" (banana) and the island of Ambon. It is made to work across a wide range of drinks, where it adds both colour and a round, tropical banana sweetness.

    Taste

    The taste is sweet and full-bodied with ripe bananas, a soft, tropical character and a light herbal undertone that adds depth without overtaking the banana sweetness.

    Green, sweet and inspired by an island in the former Dutch East Indies - Pisang Ambon is the original banana liqueur that has coloured cocktails around the world since 1948.

    Ekspertens beskrivelse

    Pisang Ambon is a Dutch banana liqueur from Lucas Bols, based on an old Indonesian recipe, bottled at 17% ABV.

    The liqueur was introduced in 1948 by Lucas Bols, whose roots as a family company date back to 1575. The name "Pisang" means banana in Indonesian, and "Ambon" refers to the Indonesian island the Dutch had ties to during the colonial period. Production itself takes place in Holland, however, where Bols had the resources and expertise to create a high-quality liqueur inspired by the exotic island.

    Smag

    The taste is sweet and full-bodied with a distinct character of sun-ripened bananas, while the characteristic green colour makes the liqueur easy to recognise in the glass. The sweetness is balanced and well suited to a wide range of cocktails.
