    My favorite frozen daiquiri recipe, courtesy Mr. Lavender (yes, that's his real name)

    Last Updated: Dec 14, 2020 By: Chef Christina

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Mr. Lavender knows how to make a stiff drink. And the frozen banana kind happens to be just one of his many specialties.  Daiquiris are perfect for daydreaming of tropical vacations and slurping fruity island concoctions. So if you are stuck somewhere cold or continental, here's how you can celebrate island life with an easy banana daiquiri recipe.

    Frozen banana daiquiri garnished with fruit on table.

    To mix up Mr. Lavender's signature frozen banana daiquiri recipe, blend up two frozen banana, (3-4 ounces) of rum, a good squeeze of fresh lime and a little ice.  Cool, sweet, bitter, sour, and oh so tropical.

    Rather a virgin drink? 

    This formula is also perfect for a fruit smoothie.  The sky is the limit. Simply replace the hard stuff with milk or yogurt for added protein.

    Oh right - this Mr. Lavender character. He's a fun, insightful professor at the CIA (culinary institute, not central intelligence) and teachers the fine art of dining room service. Soft spoken, he glides around the student-run restaurant with a constant twinkle in his eye that tells you he's up to something. And after more than twenty years in the field, let's just say he knows how to craft a cocktail.

    Like this awesome banana daiquiri (thanks, professor!). Or a peach one. Or a strawberry-orange.  Perhaps I should've warned you, Mr. Lavender is a bona fide trouble maker.

      I am curious to find out what blog system you have been utilizing? I'm having some small security issues with my latest website and I would like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any recommendations?
