Omit the rum entirely.
Use sparkling pineapple juice or lemon-lime soda instead of alcohol for a bubbly twist.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with Snacks: Serve alongside tropical appetizers like coconut shrimp, plantain chips, or mini sliders.
Make It a Pitcher: Double or triple the recipe to serve a crowd at your next gathering.
Add a Splash of Sparkle: Top with sparkling water or prosecco for a fizzy finish.
Pro Tips for Success
Use Ripe Bananas: Ripe bananas add natural sweetness and a creamier texture than underripe ones.
Chill Your Glass: Freeze your glass beforehand or chill it with ice water for an extra refreshing experience.
Make Ahead: Prep the base (minus the ice) ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Blend with ice just before serving.
Experiment with Flavors: Add a splash of orange juice, a dash of cinnamon, or even a hint of nutmeg for a unique twist.
