Shaken Banana Daiquiri vs. Frozen Banana Daiquiri

There are two variations of the Banana Daiquiri: a shaken cocktail and a frozen one. Each offers its own unique and flavorful twist, including how banana is incorporated into the drink. Here are the differences between the two:

• Frozen Banana Daiquiri– a blended cocktail made with real bananas and coconut rum. A sweeter and creamier drink with a lower alcohol content.
• Shaken Banana Daiquiri– made with white rum, banana liqueur, and demerara syrup. This version has a higher alcohol content and is shaken and served up, more similar to the classic Daiquiri.

What is Demerara Syrup

Demerara Syrup is easy to make at home and can be used in many different cocktails. Made of Demerara sugar, it has rich flavors of caramel, toffee, and molasses. It adds a sweetness that compliments the other ingredients in this Banana Daiquiri recipe.

How to Garnish a Banana Daiquiri
