Cocktail Friday: Banana Daiquiris


While fall is just around the corner the temperatures will still feel like summer for the next few days. That means that you have to fit in this last summer inspired cocktail while the temperatures are in the 80's. If you love piƱa coladas then you will love this banana twist or if you are just trying to think of what to do with your constantly browning bananas!



You have to plan ahead on these a bit and freeze sliced ripe bananas ahead of time. We definitely recommend the frozen bananas because they make a smoother creamier drink. If you were in a pinch though you could use regular bananas and add some extra ice. 




Banana Daiquiris (serves 4)
2-3 sliced frozen bananas
3/4 cup light coconut milk 
4 Tbsp. fresh squeezed orange juice
8 oz coconut rum
*If you are using fresh and not frozen bananas cut the down to one banana and use about 2/3 cup ice

Mix everything together in a blender until smooth and serve in chilled glass.
Top with shredded coconut. 
To make coconut rim: Coat rim of glass with orange juice and roll in the coconut shreds.

Enjoy these last few moments of summer and this delicious Banana daiquiri.
