My ancestors come from the region where daiquiris were born.
This banana daiquiri is akin to a frosty, drinkable banana bread.
This banana version, however, is always a blended, frosty cocktail.

Tips for the Best Cocktail
I always freeze the fruit of any frozen cocktail Im preparing.
Just peel the banana, slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds, and freeze the slices.
For best results, chill your glassplace in the freezer to chill while making the cocktail.
Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and no chunks of banana or ice remain.
Taste the daiquiri for sweetness and add more brown sugar, if desired.
You want the daiquiri to have the consistency of a slushie or loose smoothie.
Pour the daiquiri into a hurricane glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry.
