A cocktail is a universal drink in the sense that it is not shameful to serve it at a glamorous party, a strictly official buffet, a fun children's party or in a cozy, gentle, romantic atmosphere of an intimate evening. We can confidently say that a cocktail is a drink for all occasions, and most importantly - to have more varied, interesting recipes.
Banana paradise
As the main ingredient in the drink, fruits and berries are usually used. Banana is one of the most popular components of both alcoholic and nonalcoholic recipes. Banana cocktails - milk, with ice cream, whiskey, liquor and even champagne - are delicious, refreshing, rich. Drinking them is a pleasure!
“Banana in caramel ice cream”
We need: the fruit itself is of good ripeness, large; banana liquor - 4 tablespoons; rum (you can vodka) - 3 tablespoons; cream with a high percentage of fat - 4 tablespoons; caramel ice cream (or another, your favorite) from 2 tablespoons (to taste); ice cubes 150 g; spices (nutmeg, cinnamon or vanilla) to taste.
Usually banana cocktails are easy to make, and this recipe is no exception. We cut the banana along 2 parts. Grind one half in a blender, cut the second into 8 equal slices - their turn will come later. Whip cream. Add liquor, cream, a spoon of ice cream, ice to the banana blender. Mix until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, mix again. Pour the mixture into glasses, after decorating the edges with grated nutmeg or cinnamon. Pour vanilla into a smoothie. When serving, place a slice of banana on the glass.
"Banana with honey and lime"
I want to note: although banana cocktails use alcohol, they won’t get drunk on them. But getting a charge of a cheerful mood is very possible. So, we take: vodka - 60 ml (or whoever likes it, more); fresh lime juice - 30 ml (you can also have more); honey - 2-3 teaspoons; half a banana; pieces of ice.
Pour the components into the blender, add chopped banana, ice and beat for 15-20 seconds at medium speed. Pour into a glass, garnish with a slice of lime. Banana cocktails are convenient in that for many of their components it is possible to select proportions arbitrarily, focusing on your own taste sensations.
For example, "Banana Cream." This drink is non-alcoholic, and the kids will really like it. Take a glass of vanilla ice cream, move the contents to a blender. Pour cream or milk there - 50-60 ml, put the chopped banana. Beat until lush, smooth, pour into tall glasses. Top with a little
whipped cream. Slices of fruit - on the edge of the glass. Due to the fact that this cocktail with banana is quite high-calorie, it can be made to children as an afternoon snack or other independent snack.
Fans of gastronomic delights will be pleased with another drink - Banana Tea. 2 bananas cut into circles. Pour them with a mixture of 6 teaspoons of banana liquor and a few of the cognac or brandy available at home. Let them stand in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Brew your favorite tea of the desired strength, put sugar to taste. Track so that there is no tea leaves. When the tea has cooled, beat the “drunk” bananas and tea in a blender. Add ice. Pour into glasses. Garnish with a lemon.
Here you can make banana cocktails. Experiment, invent your own recipes and drink in pleasure!
