A cocktail is a drink made up of several ingredients, most often several liquids. Children will appreciate the milkshakes. Moreover, it is quite simple to cook them at home.
To make a banana milkshake, you will need:
- 2 bananas;
- 100 g of ice cream;
- 400 ml of milk;
- 1 tbsp. l. icing sugar;
- cinnamon.
First, peel the bananas and cut them into small pieces. It is better to take bananas very ripe, because they are sweeter and more aromatic. In a deep bowl or saucepan, place all the ingredients you need for a smoothie: banana slices, ice cream, milk, powdered sugar and cinnamon. Whisk well with a blender or mixer. Pour the finished cocktail into glasses or tall glasses. Serve with a wide straw.
At your discretion, cinnamon can be replaced with vanilla or vanilla sugar, or you can completely abandon flavors and enjoy the smell of bananas.
You can decorate the cocktail by sprinkling it with a small amount of grated chocolate, cocoa powder or coconut. And the glass itself is decorated with a slice of lemon, orange or a circle of kiwi. Add ice cubes to the cocktail if needed.
There are a huge number of options for making a banana cocktail. So, milk can be replaced with juice. Both freshly squeezed and packaged are suitable. Opt for strawberry or orange juice, however, you can use any flavor. Add a handful of fresh strawberries or raspberries to the bananas for a delicious banana berry dessert. If you put into the drink not a classic, but a chocolate ice cream, you get a banana-chocolate cocktail. To prepare a drink with a rich chocolate flavor, chop a few slices of chocolate and add to the main ingredients in a blender. In this case, do not use the powdered sugar, otherwise the cocktail will turn out to be too sweet.
Please note that the taste of the finished dish directly depends on the quality of the products that make up it. So, one of the most important components of a banana cocktail is ice cream. It is best to use an ice cream that does not contain herbal additives and various flavors. It is good if you use whole milk. However, if you prefer pasteurized milk, then opt for milk with a fat content of at least 3 percent.
A non-alcoholic cocktail can perfectly quench your thirst on a hot summer day. In addition, it is a fairly nutritious and high-calorie drink, and also a very tasty dessert. Consider all these facts if you are eating a diet.
