Here’s something to do with those rapidly ripening bananas on the kitchen counter. Simple syrup can be made ahead of time and kept in your fridge, and the basic ratio is one part sugar to one part water (you can do two parts sugar for a richer syrup). Bring water to a boil, add the sugar, and cook until completely dissolved. It’s an easy base for a world of cocktails. (The New York Times)

I play with the sugar: a spiced simple syrup with orange peel and vanilla and/or orgeat instead of the basic simple syrup, but otherwise my go-to party in a glass cocktail recipe!

Wasn't as sweet as I expected and had a little too much lime flavor for my taste. In the future I'll cut down on the lime juice and add some extra simple syrup.

A 1/2oz of Allspice Dram is awesome in here

Delicious! Made this in a cocktail shaker with banana juice equal to the rum portions and previously stashed simple syrup. Have done the blender with the frozen bananas before, which works great too. I just didn't want the kiddie version this time. If your are concerned about sweetness, as with salt in cooking, it helps to add the syrup a bit at a time giving it a taste. For me 1 oz was perfect. Frozen bananas are also great in a smoothie base.
