When you think of summer, what comes to mind? If you're like most people, you probably think of lazy days spent by the pool, barbecues with friends and family, and of course, refreshing drinks. A fresh banana daiquiri epitomizes all that is summer; it's sweet, creamy, and packed with flavor, and it's easy to make at home. This delicious concoction made from rum, lime juice, sugar, and bananas is a tropical vacation in a glass.

BANANA DAIQUIRI
Steps:
- Into a blender add 1 banana, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/2 of the lime juice, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and 3 cups of ice and add 2 ounces of rum if desired. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into 2 tall glasses, and repeat for 2 more drinks.
BANANA DAIQUIRI
Our Banana Daiquiri is the quickest way to transport your senses to island mode without ever leaving home. Throw a couple ripe bananas, coconut rum, lime juice, orange liqueur, sugar, and ice into the blender and you'll be just 30 seconds away from the season's brightest tropical sipper. We tested the recipe with Bacardi Coconut, but feel free to use regular white rum if you're not a coconut fan. If the islands are calling but so is your 9-to-5, this refreshing drink will be the perfect solution. Give it some flair by topping each hurricane glass with a couple maraschino cherries and a lime peel twist-little paper umbrella, optional. This recipe mixes up two cocktails per batch, so just double or triple as needed. One thing to know: Our banana daiquiris won't keep, which means it needs to be made immediately before serving. Go grab your blender and a bit of ice because you're going to want to mix this tasty treat up stat.

GIOVANNA'S BANANA DAIQUIRI
This recipe comes to us from Giovanna Huyke, host of the Puerto Rican television program "La Cocina de Giovanna." Finger bananas have a richer sweetness than larger bananas. A mango, or another fresh tropical fruit, may be used instead of bananas.

FROZEN BANANA DAIQUIRI
Here's something to do with those rapidly ripening bananas on the kitchen counter. Simple syrup can be made ahead of time and kept in your fridge, and the basic ratio is one part sugar to one part water (you can do two parts sugar for a richer syrup). Bring water to a boil, add the sugar, and cook until completely dissolved. It's an easy base for a world of cocktails. (The New York Times)
