Can I substitute Creme de Banane in the Banana Split cocktail?

![SERVING_SUGGESTIONS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/serving.avif)
What is the best way to serve a Banana Split cocktail?
The Banana Split cocktail is best served in a chilled cocktail glass. You can enhance its presentation by garnishing the rim with a sprinkle of chocolate flakes or a small banana slice to underscore the drink's dessert-like qualities.
![ALCOHOL_CONTENT_COMPARISON](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/alcohol_comparison.avif)
How does the alcohol content of the Banana Split cocktail compare to a standard cocktail?
With a 24% alcohol content, the Banana Split cocktail is on the stronger side compared to many standard cocktails, which commonly range between 10% to 20% alcohol by volume. Its strength is primarily due to the inclusion of 60ml of tequila alongside Bailey's and Creme de Banane.
![PREPARATION_TECHNIQUES](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/preparation.avif)
Why is the Banana Split cocktail shaken and not stirred?
The Banana Split cocktail is shaken to thoroughly mix its diverse ingredients, particularly to combine dairy and alcohol smoothly, creating a consistent texture and flavor. Shaking also chills the drink more effectively than stirring, making it more refreshing.

What occasions are suitable for serving the Banana Split cocktail?
The Banana Split cocktail, with its dessert-like flavors and creamy texture, is perfect for after-dinner enjoyment or as a decadent treat at gatherings like birthday parties, summer barbecues, or any festive occasion where a sweet, indulgent drink would be appreciated.
