Spiced Banana Dacquiri Cocktail (Classic, Not Frozen)
This spiced banana dacquiri is based on the classic rum dacquiri cocktail (shaken, not frozen)...the spiced syrup & banana liqueur really elevates it and turns it into something special! A delicious and easy tropical-feeling cocktail to brighten winter, or for any time of year.
Servings: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 2 ounces of really good rum I used Diplomatico Planas
- 3/4 ounce of banana liqueur good quality, I used Tempus Fugit
- 3/4 ounce of fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce of cinnamon demerara simple syrup see notes
- Optional garnishes like lime wheel dehydrated lime, etc.
Instructions
- Fill a shaker halfway with ice.
- Pour the ingredients into the shaker and shake for 15-20 seconds.
- Strain into a coupe glass and garnish if desired.
Notes
- You can make an easy cinnamon simple syrup by using a 1:1 demerara (a.k.a. raw) sugar to water ratio. Dissolve the sugar and bring to just under a boil. Turn heat to a simmer and add two cinnamon sticks, cooking for a few minutes. Then remove from heat and let the cinnamon sticks steep for another 10 minutes before removing. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
