    i have no idea but if you mix blue curacao (orange flavour), banana liquor and baileys (cream) you get a bubblegum flavoured shot called a Bazooka Joe and its delicious.

    Seems to be a mix of banana, pineapple, cinnamon, wintergreen, and cloves.

    I hope someone else answers because I’ve never thought about it, but now I want a definitive answer too.

    It’s all in here

    While there is a bubble gum “flavor” – which various artificial flavorings including esters are mixed to obtain – it varies from one company to another.[8]Esters used in synthetic bubble gum flavoring may include methyl salicylate, ethyl butyrate, benzyl acetate, amyl acetate or cinnamic aldehyde.[9][better source needed] A natural bubble gum flavoring can be produced by combining banana, pineapple, cinnamon, cloves, and wintergreen.[10] Vanilla, cherry, lemon, and orange oil have also been suggested as ingredients.[9]
