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 holiday 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 the most important thing is 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 ingredients in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic recipes. Banana cocktails - milk, with ice cream, whiskey, liquor and even champagne - delicious, refreshing, rich. Drinking them is a pleasure!

"Banana in Caramel Ice Cream"

We need: the fruit itself is of good ripeness, large; banana liqueur - 4 tablespoons; rum (you can vodka) - 3 tablespoons; cream with a high percentage of fat content - 4 tablespoons; caramel ice cream (or another, your favorite) from 2 tablespoons (to taste); ice incubes 150 g; spices (nutmeg, cinnamon or vanilla) to taste.

Usually banana smoothies are easy to prepare, and this recipe is no exception. Cut the banana lengthwise into 2 pieces. Grind one half in a blender, cut the second into 8 equal slices - their turn will come later. Whip cream. Add liquor, cream, a spoonful of ice cream, ice to the blender to the banana. Mix until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients, mix again. Pour the mixture into glasses, after decorating the edges with grated nutmeg or cinnamon. Pour vanilla into the cocktail. When serving, place a slice of banana on the glass.

"Banana with honey and lime"

I would like to note: although banana cocktails use alcohol, you will not get drunk from them. But getting a charge of a cheerful mood is very possible. So, we take: vodka - 60 ml (or, if you like, more); fresh lime juice - 30 ml (you can also use more of your choice); honey - 2-3 teaspoons; half a banana; pieces of ice.

Pour ingredients into a blender, add sliced banana, ice and beat for 15-20 seconds at medium speed. Pour into a glass, garnish with a lime wedge. 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 love it. Take a glass of vanilla ice cream, move the contents to a blender. Pour in the cream ormilk - 50-60 ml, put a chopped banana. Whisk until fluffy, pour into tall glasses. Sprinkle some whipped cream on top. Pieces of fruit - on the edge of the glass. Due to the fact that this banana smoothie is quite high in calories, it can be made for children as an afternoon snack or other independent snack.

Lovers of gastronomic delights will be pleased with another drink - "Banana Tea". Cut 2 bananas into circles. Pour them with a mixture of 6 teaspoons of banana liqueur and a few cognac or brandy available at home. Let stand in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Brew your favorite tea of the desired strength, add sugar to taste. Strain so that there is no welding. When the tea has cooled, blend the “drunk” bananas and tea in a blender. Add ice. Pour into glasses. Garnish with a lemon.

This is how you can make cocktails with a banana. Experiment, invent your own recipes and drink with pleasure!
