SERVES 2

The daiquiri is said to have been invented in Cuba in 1898. The banana daiquiri, however, was apparently first concocted some 50 years ago at St. Thomas' Mountaintop bar in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

6 oz. dark rum
2 tbsp. sugar
Juice of 1/2 lime
2 oz. banana liqueur
2 oz. water
2 very ripe bananas, peeled

1. Put rum, sugar, lime juice, banana liqueur, water, bananas, and plenty of ice into an electric blender, then purée until smooth and thick. Pour into two tall chilled glasses.

I am a former long time bartender, reside in Fl. and have made, drunk more than my fair share of this concoction.
Happened to have ingrediants on hand and had to use up bananas. This is by far, the best banana daiquiri I've ever made or drank. Yum.
