Banana Daiquire Question
I made my first Banana Daiquiri tonight. It didn't really turn out that good. A little too runny. Here is the recipe I used: 1 and 1/2oz light rum 1 TBLE spoon triple sec 1 banana 1 and 1/2 lime juice 1 TS spoon sugar 1 cup of crushed ice Ok, I put all this in the blender and blended on low for five seconds. Then blended on high for about thirty seconds to a minute more. I thought it came out too watery. Would blending it more have caused it to firm up? I'm a newbie to blending so I no nothing about the basics of blending. How long should I have blended it? What could I have done to firm it up? Thanks! |

To firm it up you would either have to reduce the liquid or add more
ice. Blending it longer makes the ice pieces finer and makes them melt faster - making the drink even more watery. Try this: 2 Oz Rum 1 Oz Triple Sec splash of lime juice 1 banana Then blend with ice, adding ice until you reach the consistency you're looking for. -Paul www.barback.com On Tue, 26 Jul 2005 03:27:58 GMT, "Von Fourche" > wrote: > > > I made my first Banana Daiquiri tonight.

Do I blend without the ice first? Then slowly add the ice? Thanks |

Start with a little bit of ice (1/2 to 3/4 cup) and add until you get
it where you want it. Blending it in a blender without ice will make a frothy mess.
