If you love Daiquiris as much as we do (check out our Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri here), then you need to give this gorgeous Banana Gin Daiquiri a go ASAP. It’s a fantastic way to add a tropical touch to your nights in at any time of the year.

Mixing Gin YVY Mar from YVY Distilaria in Brazil, Craft Gin Club’s January 2023 Gin of the Month, with Crème de Banane liqueur, fresh bananas and lime juice, this cocktail is creamy and vibrant and so delectably tropical.

Gin YVY Mar has a wonderful mix of spice and citrus tones, which come from botanicals unique to Brazil. That fabulous flavour profile works so well with the smooth, sweet banana elements in this recipe.

The lime then lifts the whole experience with its citrus tang. Yum!

What’s a daiquiri made of?

A daiquiri is traditionally made of rum, sugar and citrus juice. For this recipe, Gin YVY Mar is swapped in for the rum, and the sweet taste that sugar would normally provide is instead provided by the banana liqueur and simple syrup.
