Banana daiquiris hold such a dear place in my heart! I had my first one many years ago (we’re talking virgin!) at the Boathouse restaurant in Wildwood, NJ when we were down on our yearly “family vacation” for the NJ Fireman’s convention. I would look forward to going to one of our dinner there (we would end up going a few times over the week) just for that drink. I thought it was the greatest thing I ever tasted!

I literally could drink these all day, every day. I think I loved the specific ones from Boathouse so much more than anywhere else because they topped it off with a ton of whipped cream 😉 I also felt like such an adult when the waiter came around to take my drink order and I would ask for my fancy banana daiquiri (which is a lie, as I made one of my parents say my order since  I was the shyest little girl). I remember one time I had to get a strawberry one and it was just not the same. I was so disappointed!

I missed that glorious little frost mocktail with all my heart and the beachy end-of-summer memories it evoked for me. So why not make one right at home in the blender with just some banana, lime, rum extract (and water and ice!). Perfect to satisfy those cravings and probably 1000x cheaper! While I wish I was sitting overlooking the dock, boats, and seagulls, (with the best chicken marsala; Boathouse made the best!), this comes in a close second!

The fact that these banana daiquiris are so simple, yet do delicious is even more of a plus. While sometimes I do get the urge to drive 3 and a half hours down to the tip of New Jersey, I guess pulling out my (usually) lonely blender may just be a better idea. Especially since cars and I just don’t get along (if you’ve been following my Instagram stories you’ll know what I mean!). A few steps to the kitchen seems much safer!

    Rebecca, I absolutely love banana Daiquiris. But obviously it’s not something that I sip on very often. Definitely not in the middle of the day! This is the perfect answer. I can still get that great taste without the alcohol. I even have rum extract in my cupboard. It’s on!

    I love Banana Daiquiris but never thought of making them at home, and I’ve just recently been given some Rum extract I had no idea what to do with! Must be fate! 🙂 xx

    I love that you made your own version of a beloved drink! Also, “1000x cheaper” <– I'm all for that! So clever to use rum extract to kick this that extra special kick. Now I'm craving a banana daiquiri! Time to get our blender fun on! Have a wonderful weekend, Rebecca. Pinning, of course. xo

    What a beautiful drink! I was always a strawberry daiquiri girl but had a banana one in Mexico and now it’s my go-to whenever I’m somewhere tropical. I can’t wait to make this cleaned-up version at home so my kids can try it – and so I can add some rum and pretend I’m lying on a beach somewhere 😉

    Believe it or not we have a heatwave in Scotland at the moment. (Well, what I mean is we’ve actually seen the sun over the last few days 😉 )

    And, if it continues to this weekend, then I’ll be making these for Sunday breakfast! 🙂

    Pinned my friend, just lovely! 😀

    I LOVE the idea of using rum extract to make it taste like an adult daiquiri! SO SMART! I ate my last banana this morning, so I need to get out of my chair and into the car right now so I can make one this afternoon.
