To ensure a creamy banana daiquiri, use a very ripe banana. Don’t be afraid of a few brown spots. Inside, the fruit will be white and sweet.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups ice
1 banana, peeled and broken into pieces
3 ounces gold rum
2 ounces crème de banane
Juice of 2 limes
2 teaspoons superfine sugar
METHOD:
1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender.
2. Cover and pulse on and off until the mixture starts to swirl evenly.
3. Blend on high for 20 seconds, or until the drink is completely smooth.
