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.

11 / 2 cups granulated sugar
11 / 2 cups hot water
21 / 4 tsp. curry powder
