Ingredients for Banana Cocktail

  • 1 (15 ounce) can fruit cocktail, drained (or 1 ½ cups fresh mixed fruit – berries, peaches, etc.)
  • Bananas
  • Grand Marnier
  • Orange Juice
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Papaya
  • Fresh Cream

How to Make Banana Cocktail

  1. If using canned fruit cocktail, drain it well. If using fresh fruit, chop it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine the drained fruit cocktail (or fresh fruit) and sliced bananas. Set aside.
  3. In a blender, combine the yogurt/ice cream, honey/agave, and orange juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Divide the fruit and banana mixture evenly among 6 cocktail glasses.
  5. Pour the blended sauce over the fruit in each glass.
  6. Garnish each glass with a few reserved cherries and a mint leaf.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
