Frozen Curry-Banana Daiquiri

ACTIVE 10 MIN; TOTAL 55 MIN

SERVES 2

Embrace the curry in this frozen drink; it adds

subtle intrigue without going too far into

savory territory. Fresh ripe banana and rum

fill out the base notes without getting too

sweetly rich. This recipe calls for Atlántico

rum, but any rich dark rum will work well—

Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva or Bacardí

Reserva Ocho are also delicious. Whichever

rum you choose, be sure to store it in the

freezer to help keep the drink slushy.

(^1) / 2 (6 (^1) / 2 -oz.) very ripe banana
11 / 2 cups granulated sugar
11 / 2 cups hot water
21 / 4 tsp. curry powder
11 / 2 cups crushed ice
(^1) / (^2) cup (4 oz.) rich dark rum (such as
Atlántico Reserva), placed in freezer
overnight
3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
Banana chips or plantain chips, for
garnish

1. Process banana, sugar, 1^1 / 2 cups hot
   water, and curry powder in a blender until
   smooth and sugar is dissolved, about 1
   minute and 30 seconds. Pour mixture
   through a cheesecloth-lined fine wire-
   mesh strainer into a bowl; discard solids.
   (You will have about 1^1 / 2 cups curry-
   banana cordial.) Chill cordial until cold,
   about 45 minutes. Store in an airtight
   container in refrigerator up to 1 week.


2. To make 2 drinks, combine crushed ice,
   rum, lime juice, and 6 tablespoons curry-
   banana cordial in a blender. Process until
   smooth, about 30 seconds; pour into 2
   stemmed glasses, and garnish with
   banana chips or plantain chips. Serve
   immediately with straws.
