Default Banana Daiquiri hunt

Hi all. My brother in law is visiting and wants a banana daiquiri. Where can we find a good one is or around TV?

Any bar that stocks White Rum can make a Daiquiri .
Tropical bars close to the beach, like Clearwater or Daytona will make Banana Daiquiris.
But here, secretly bring your own banana because it's rare for a bar in The Villages to have ripe bananas on hand. A good bartender should oblige you.
A shortcut is to add Banana Liqueur instead of real fruit.
Cane Garden CC or Margarita Republic might have those ingredients.

Yes you do, but you peel it first. (Low fiber!)

Unless we knew the bartender cannot imagine handing one to him.

I don't think the country club bars would normally have fresh bananas for the rare customer who requests that drink.

I regret suggesting the Parliament House in Orlando! My reply was misconstrued as an insult! They also make Pink Squirrels and Grasshoppers! Not changing my lifestyle because of someone’s thin skin on their banana

We found Evans Prairie made him one, otherwise no one stocked either ripe banana or the substitute speciality liquor.

Wow! Evens Prairie CC? Whoodah thought!
Their bar had bananas or they went into the kitchen and stole them from the dessert or breakfast line?
