Tips & Notes

  • Use a frozen banana for best texture — it eliminates the need for too much extra ice.

  • Add coconut cream or vanilla to bring out dessert-like notes.

  • Make a batch: Multiply ingredients and blend just before serving for a party.

  • Want it boozier? Add a splash of dark rum float on top.

  • For a fun twist, try blending in pineapple chunks or mango.

Side Info

The Banana Daiquiri originated in the Caribbean and gained traction in the 1940s and ‘50s as tropical flavors hit tiki bars. Smooth, sweet, and comforting, it’s a natural evolution of the classic rum-lime-sugar trio — boosted with fruit for a frozen, island-inspired treat.
