Banana Daiquiri

2 days ago by MaybeSushi to c/cocktails

  • 60 ml rum (I used Appleton Estate)
  • 30 ml lime juice
  • 30 ml banana syrup

Shake and serve.

It's getting warm here, so it's daiquiri time! I made some syrup from banana peels (mix sugar and banana peels, and let it rest for a few days. No need to heat it up), so I was excited to try it. It goes really well with the aged rum!

why banana peels and not bananas?

If I had to guess there are probably more oils in the peel for concentrated flavor

I found a recipe for banana oleo saccharum, using the peels. I thought it was pretty cool to use the part that is usually discarded! As the other comment says, there is also probably more oil in the peel, and less sugar.

It might work with the actual banana as well, it would be interesting to compare both ways!

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.

If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.

Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:

Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.

A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.
