Pisan – a tropical paradise in cocktails

Pisan is a banana liqueur that takes you to the very heart of the humid tropical jungle, where the fresh air is saturated with the aromas of ripe fruits and spicy flowers. Its story is born in distant Indonesia, among lush greenery, which generously shares its gifts with those who know the value of natural taste.

In appearance, Pisan is reminiscent of green palm groves. Its aroma is striking, like a soft summer breeze: sweet, with bright notes of ripe banana, which harmoniously combines with a light hint of vanilla and exotic accents of tropical fruits. The first sip reveals a delicate banana creaminess that melts on the tongue, like a morning dew drop in the sunlight. Then a light sourness of green lime appears, adding freshness and balance to the drink. The aftertaste leaves soft shades of caramel and vanilla, giving a feeling of comfort and warmth.

The secret of its taste lies in the perfect selection of ingredients: selected bananas ripening under the hot sun, cane sugar, real Madagascar vanilla extract and pure water, which makes the texture of the drink velvety.

Pisan is more than just a liqueur. It is like an invitation to a tropical paradise, where every drop reminds of carefreeness and the celebration of life. Its taste is perfect in cocktails: from refreshing mixes with citrus to bold dessert combinations with cream or chocolate. In a glass, Pisan hides a sunny dream that is waiting for its moment to give pleasure, a sense of freedom and inspiration from distant exotic lands.

A few words from the distant past…

On the emerald islands of Indonesia, among the lush nature and vast tropical forests, a liqueur was born that later won the hearts of gourmets around the world – Pisang. This drink carries all the versatility and warmth of the tropics, felt in every drop.
Indonesia has always been famous for the richness of its fruits, among which the banana is a real king. For locals, it is not just a fruit, but a symbol of abundance and vitality. It was here, in a tropical paradise, that the idea arose to create a drink that could preserve and convey the rich taste and aroma of bananas.

The technology for making liqueur developed gradually, with respect for traditions and the subtle art of blending. The result was the perfect combination of the taste of ripe bananas, natural sugar and refined alcohol, which was called Pisang Ambon.
The name of the liqueur, which has a double meaning, speaks for itself. Pisang is translated from Indonesian as “banana”, symbolizing the main ingredient of the drink. Ambon is an island in Indonesia, which is considered its spiritual homeland, because it was here that the unique recipe was first created.

Pisang appeared on the international stage thanks to Dutch craftsmen who brought the recipe from colonial Indonesia. It was in Holland that mass production of this drink began, where the traditional recipe was carefully followed, adding modern technologies to preserve the best properties.

Classic taste and aroma and modernity

The taste and aroma of the liqueur are transported to the tropics. Pisang embodies the warmth of the sun and tropical lightness. Its aroma is rich and sweet, with shades of ripe bananas, which are harmoniously combined with a light spice.

Today, Pisang is an integral part of many cocktails, but it retains its authenticity, recreating the tropical spirit and heritage of the islands. Each glass of this drink is a small journey to an exotic paradise.

In addition, Pisang is used quite widely in culinary art. It is added to meat and fish dishes. It is an ideal component in confectionery, because it phenomenally plays the role of the main ingredient in sauces and gravies for desserts, acts as a bright flavoring in pastries, fruit marinades.
