Banana Daiquiri

This beverage is a fine way to use extra bananas. Why make banana bread when you can make an outstanding tropical drink?

I made this drink and I was very pleased. It is creamy and all the flavors combine to make a delicious cold treat.

Ingredients: (makes two to three drinks)

2 medium ripe bananas, peeled and chopped

½ cup of coconut milk (or 1/3 cup of coconut cream)

2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons of sugar

½ cup of light rum

1 ounce of triple sec

1/4 cup of orange juice

1 scoop of vanilla ice cream

2 cups of ice cubes (12 to 16 regular ice cubes)

lime twists for garnish

maraschino cherries for garnish

toothpicks to hold the garnish

2, 12 ounce glasses (of your choice), frozen

Directions:

Add the ice cubes, bananas, coconut milk, lime juice, sugar, rum, orange juice, vanilla ice cream and triple sec to a blender.

Blend on low speed for 30 seconds, then blend on high speed until smooth.

Pour the banana daiquiri into the frozen glasses and garnish with optional lime twists and maraschino cherries on a toothpick.

Enjoy!
