Banaquiri
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 coc ktail pick.
