You Will Need
- 1 c. ice
- A blender
- 1 small banana
- 2 oz. light rum
- 2 tbsp. banana-flavored liqueur
- 1 tsp. lime juice
- 1 tsp. simple syrup
- And a large cocktail glass, like a daiquiri or margarita glass
Steps
-
Step 1
Chill glass
Chill the cocktail glass by filling it with ice and water, and set it aside.
-
Step 2
Crush ice
Crush the ice in the blender.
-
If you’re making a big batch of daiquiris, add the other ingredients to the blender first, then add in ice until the pitcher is full.
-
Step 3
Peel banana & break up
Peel the banana and break it into small chunks.
-
Step 4
Put banana in blender
Place the small chunks of banana into the blender.
-
Step 5
Add rum, liqueur, lime juice, & syrup
Pour in the light rum, banana liqueur, lime juice, and simple syrup.
-
Simple syrup is just sugar boiled in water--but honey will work equally well.
-
Step 6
Blend
Blend the ingredients for about 15 seconds, or until smooth and creamy.
-
Step 7
Empty glass
Empty the now-chilled cocktail glass.
-
Step 8
Pour & serve
Pour contents into the glass and serve.
-
Most bananas are grown in tropical regions--except in Iceland, where they flourish in geyser-heated soil.
