    🍹 What is a Frozen Banana Daquiri?

    A frozen banana daiquiri is a combination of white rum, banana liqueur, lime juice, cointreau and ice All blended together until they are smooth and creamy. This icy, boozy drink is full of sweet and creamy banana flavor with a little bite of rum.

    This frozen drink it’s just one in a long line of popular frozen cocktails such as the Frosty bulldog, the Miami vice and the bushwacker. For this one, you simply use your basic daiquiri ingredients and add ice and banana flavor.

    If you’re wondering why you should try out this recipe, here are just a few of the reasons:

    • Bursting with bananas. If you love bananas, this is a must try drink. It is bursting with banana flavor with every single sip. Just like this banana split shot.
    • Perfect for warm weather. This frozen drink will keep you cool and even the hottest of the heat.
    • Easy to make. Sometimes frozen drinks are a little bit of a pain to get together. However, this one is really easy. You only need six simple ingredients and about 8 minutes to blend this one up.

    ⭐ When to Make This Drink

    This tropical inspired cocktail will fit right in at a wide array of different serving times. Consider trying it for one of these:

    • Beach parties
    • Pool parties
    • Birthday celebrations
    • Summer get togethers

    📖 Variations

    One of the fun and fabulous things about this fruity frozen drink is that it is easy to customize. Try out a couple of these different flavor modifications and ingredient substitutions to make it suit your tastes perfectly:

    • Use actual bananas. Instead of using banana liqueur substitute that for one fresh, very ripe banana.
    • Cut out the ice. You can either reduce or cut the ice out altogether if you freeze your banana instead of using an unfrozen one. This will lend to a smoother, creamier drink that is less watered down.
    • Substitute the simple syrup. Add a little extra flavor to this drink by using a flavored simple syrup. A couple of good options are coconut syrup or banana syrup.
    • Add extra fruit flavor. You can make this even fruitier by adding other fruit flavor. Do this by adding a half ounce of orange juice or a few additional fresh fruits such as strawberries or pineapple.
    • Use tequila. Make this a frozen banana margarita by using tequila instead of rum.
    • Add a decadent garnish. You can make this even sweeter by adding a decadent garnish such as whipped cream, caramel syrup or chocolate syrup.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

    Step one

    You want to start out by making sure everything you need for this cocktail. That should include banana liqueur, rum, lime juice, whipped cream, a slice of banana, simple syrup, cointreau, jigger, blender and ice.

    Adding ice to a blender.

    Step two

    Dump one cup of ice into the blender.

    Measuring rum with a jigger.

    Step three

    Measure 2 oz of rum. Then dump that in the blender.

    Pouring banana liqueur from a jigger into a blender.

    Step four

    Measure 1 oz of banana liqueur. Then, dump that in the blender.

    Pouring simple syrup from a jigger into a blender.

    Step Five

    Measure 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Then, dump that in the blender.

    Pouring lime juice into a jigger.

    Step Six

    Measure 1 oz of lime juice. Then, dump that in the blender.

    Pouring a banana daquiri into a hurricane glass.

    Step Eight

    Turn your blender on and get it well combined. Blender speeds and settings will vary. We like to use a smoothie setting on our blender for a few minutes.

    The main goal is to get everything well combined and smooth, but not purely liquefied.

    Then, turn the blender off, and pour your daiquiri into your glass. If you’d like to add a garnish, now’s the time to do so. We chose a slice of banana added to the rim.
