Cocktail Corner

Going Bananas

Written By David Edessa

Going Bananas!!!

Most mornings I wake up to a nutritional breakfast of a banana and cup of coffee…. I know… I should have better meal to start the day.

Well, I thought it would be fun just to keep it simple and use the banana as the main ingredient in this week’s cocktail recipes.

Banana Margarita:

Ingredients:

  • ½ oz. Banana liqueur
  • 1 oz. tequila
  • ¾ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¾ teaspoon lime juice
  • ½ oz. Grand Marnier liqueur
  • ¼ large bananas

Instructions:

Build your drink in the glass you will be using. Start by filling the glass to the top with ice. Combine the lemon juice, lime juice, banana liqueur, tequila, and bananas. In the container of a blender add the built cocktail. Cover and blend until smooth. Pour into margarita glass to serve. Drizzle on top the Grand Marnier. The reason you want to build in the glass is to make an exact portion…Waste Not!
