Drink 13: Banana Daiquiri

First of all, I learned that you cannot make this drink in a Hamilton milkshake maker. It just sirs up the ice without mashing the bananas. I switched to my Ninja with better results. At the same time, I don't love my Ninja for tropical drinks; it tends to make something closer to juice and ice - rather than a slushy and creamy concoction.

Still, the bananas are just dense enough to keep the drink pretty frothy and delicious. While the drink is delightful, it is also lacking in complexity - there aren't any additional interesting flavors you come to expect and rely on in many traditional tiki drink. So, it you're looking for something safe and pleasurable, then this is a good way to go. On the other hand, don't expect to be surprised by a new flavor combination that you've never had.

Ingredients I used:

Fresh Lime Juice
Simple syrup
Flor De Cana - 4 year Gold Rum
Fresh Ripe Banana

My personal rating: ***1/2 (3.5) out of ***** (5)
