Want to make a banana daiquiri with us? The weather is warming up. Bananas are one fruit that's not too expensive right now. Seems like a sensible option.
BANANA DAIQUIRI
Sometimes you need a cocktail that's not too sweet, not too icy with a dose of potassium. Let's not pretend banana daiquiris aren't old fashioned or that we'll be drinking multiple in a session. But, it's in our fave list because it stands alone as probably the best banana based cocktail.
MILK ALTERNATIVES
We don't mess with a classic, but there is versatility, here. Banana adds a creamy mouthfeel so you can swap the traditional dash of cream for any milk. Right now, we're loving Milklab coconut milk.
RECIPE
This is an easy cocktail to whip up with ingredients you already have in the house. Eg. Leftover nutmeg* from that dessert you made last year or the half banana everyone in the house rejected.
In a blender:
Scoop of ice
Half a small banana**
30 ml white rum
30 - 40ml banana liqueur
50 ml cream or milk of your choice
Blend until smooth. Pour into a glass.
Garnish with a little grated nutmeg.
*A grating of fresh nutmeg rounds out a tomato based pasta sauce. A tip courtesy of the late, great Antonio Carluccio.
**Don't blend the banana peel. 😳
🍸 🍹
