- Put the ice, frozen bananas, 2 oz of white rum, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 cup of water in your blender. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Put the frozen banana daiquiri in the glass you want to use. Add a slice of banana, a lime wheel, or both as a garnish. Enjoy right away!
Tips & Variations
- Peel and slice your bananas before putting them in the freezer. Bananas that have been frozen make the drink creamier and get rid of the need for added ice.
- Change the sweetness: If your bananas are really ripe, you might not require as much simple syrup. Mix, taste, and change things to your satisfaction.
- Blender Magic: Use a high-speed blender to make sure your blender can handle frozen fruit and ice.
- Add a banana slice, a lime wheel, or even a little nutmeg to make it seem fancy.
- No Rum? No problem. You can make a tasty banana mocktail that everyone can enjoy without the rum.
- No Simple Syrup? You can use honey or agave syrup instead; just change the amount to taste.
- If you don’t want dairy, you can add a dash of coconut milk to make the drink creamier.
- Rum with taste: Use coconut or spiced rum to add another layer of flavor.
- For a mocktail version, leave out the rum and use coconut water or milk instead.
For the creamiest texture, you should drink this right away. If you have leftovers, you may keep them in the freezer for up to a day. Before serving, blend them again to make the texture fresh.
