Cavalcade Cocktails: Classic Banana Daiquiri

A version of the Daiquiri was one of the early cocktails to be served "frozen" and made use of the electric blender, a relatively uncommon appliance at the time. Fred Waring, the noted bandleader, was an investor for a "Miracle Mixer" - a blender that could be used to make frozen cocktails, among other things. The name of the company eventually changed to Waring, and the famous Waring Blendor (with an "o") began appearing behind bars all over the country.

Banana Daiquiri
1 1/2 oz light rum
1 TBSP Triple Sec
1 1/2 oz lime juice
1 tsp sugar
1 medium banana, sliced
1 cup ice cubes

Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth and foamy.

Pour into a stemmed glass and garnish with a cherry.

Hi Kevin and Ralph! Your Vegas story had me in stitches! Probably because I have a similar story 😉. I love retro cocktails and think this’ll be one I make for Friday nights with friends! Thanks guys😊

My 96 yr old mother still has that very same blender...and it is still in great shape, like her!🥰

Looks so yummy! My mom and dad have been married for 68 years. They received a Waring blendor for a wedding present and the thing still works!

Hi Kevin & Ralph! When I was 21 (now 77) my boyfriend's mother introduced me to frozen banana daiquiris on New Year's Eve 1968. Haven't had one since, but have had frozen strawberry daiquiris. Thanks for sharing. ❤😊

I think my first ever taste of a cocktail as a kid was a Strawberry Daiquiri which my mom would always order when we went somewhere “fancy” — served in a super tall curvy glass, I was instantly hooked.

"Delicious" video guys! Cheers

Fun Fact: the vocal group that sang with Fred Waring and the orchestra was “The Blenders.”
My friend’s dad sang with them through the 60s.

Another friend loves banana daiquiri so much that when she goes to a bar she brings her own banana so the bartender can make one for her.

My favorite is a nice tall frozen Pina Colada …but that look absolutely luscious

Cuba invented daiquiris or something similar. Loved'em. Been to Tropicana which recently closed along with Mirage. Hot days and cold drinks, - good combo/good times.

I can see me having one after another as I love banana. The lime, however, really surprised me. What was it's purpose? To cut the overall sweetness just a bit? Good bartender episode. Hi Ralph.
