Dollys Banana Liqueur Recipes

FROZEN BANANA DAIQUIRI

Steps:

• Add cocktail ingredients into the blender: Add the dark rum, banana liqueur, lime juice, brown sugar, banana chunks, and ice into the blender.
• Blend the cocktail: Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and no chunks of banana or ice remain.
• Taste and adjust cocktail flavoring: Taste the daiquiri for sweetness and add more brown sugar, if desired. If the daiquiri is too thick, like the consistency of pudding, add more rum to thin out the daiquiri a bit. You want the daiquiri to have the consistency of a slushie or loose smoothie.
• Garnish and serve cocktail: Pour the daiquiri into a hurricane glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry. Enjoy while frozen.
