I got a Facebook message from a friend who said that she was craving a banana daiquiri. Now it’s not exactly the official drink of Cinco de Mayo, but it is pretty yummy! Here’s how we made a batch last summer. The key ingredient is the banana cream liqueur. It’s super easy, just combine all of the ingredients in a blender and serve in a chilled glass.

• 2 shots Vodka
• 1 shot Creme de Banane (or any banana liqueur)
• Splash of orange juice
• handful of ice cubes
• 1 peeled banana

Makes 2. For some added fun, throw in a shot of coconut rum. If you make one Char, send me a pic!

Stay thirsty my friends,

Johnny
