You can use this recipe to make any kind of fruit daiquiri. Just substitute 2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) of fruit (such as melon, peaches, strawberries, apricots, litchis, kiwi or mango) for the banana. If you like, you can also replace the maraschino with a complementary liqueur or brandy (Midori with melon, peach brandy with peaches, etc.). Garnish with the mint sprig and a piece of whatever fruit went into the mix, skewered on a cocktail pick.

1 1/2 oz silver rum
1/2 large banana (about 4oz)
1/2 oz lime juice
1 tsp simple syrup
1/2 oz maraschino liqueur
1 cup crushed ice
1 sprig mint for garnish
1 slice banana on a cocktail pick for garnish

Blend the rum, banana, lime juice, syrup, maraschino liqueur and ice in an electric blender until smooth, about 15 seconds. Pour into a large cocktail glass or old-fashioned and garnish with the mint sprigs and skewered banana slice.
