The Banana Daiquiri in Beachbum Berry Remixed, created by Mariano Licudine of the Mai-Kai restaurant in 1971, looked a little light on the spirits for the loungers here so I added a little Charbay vanilla rum. And a batch of Jamaica rum-flavored syrup happened to be handy, so that went in too.
Banana Daiquiri
- 1/2 oz lime juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup (rum flavored syrup)
- 1 1/2 oz gold Puerto Rican rum (subbed Flor de Caña 5 year)
- (1/2 oz Charbay vanilla rum)
- Half a ripe banana, cut into thin slices
- 4 oz crushed ice

This has no crème de banane, just banana, so it’s subtle and not candied. There’s a delicate interplay between the fruit and the rum. That said, a whole blender of it could lead to trouble in short order.
