It's summer here in the U.S., so we're continuing our exploration of popular tropical drinks to quench and cool during hot weather.
We've covered the origins of the daiquiri in a previous post on our blog, and here is an interesting take that uses a banana in place of the ubiquitous strawberry version that has been popular in the U.S. for decades.
Give it a try and tweet us your pics at @HBC_Community!
Banana Daiquiri

Ingredients:
1¼ oz. light rum
¼ oz. lemon or lime juice
½ tsp. sugar
1 banana
1-1½ cups ice cubes
Instructions:
When blending frozen drinks, always put liquid ingredients in the jar of your high-performance commercial blender first. Follow by adding solid ingredients such as fruit and ice, blend for a few seconds, and enjoy your cool creation.
Also, if you have a fun or interesting drink recipe, please submit it here.
