Tropical Banana Sparklers Ingredients

Sparkling water: You will need two 12-ounce sized cans of Dasani sparkling tropical pineapple flavor for the base of this recipe. If you can’t find Dasani, you can use any other brand of sparkling water you prefer.

Bananas: Use 2 heaping cups of frozen ripe bananas for added thickness, sweetness, and flavor to these drinks.

Honey: Add a little more sweetness with 2 tablespoons of honey or agave.

How to make Tropical Banana Sparklers

Prep bananas

Begin by slicing the ripe bananas about 1 ½” thick. You want bananas that are ripe (for the sweetness) but ones that still hold their shape.

Then place the bananas in a freezer bag and freeze them for 2-3 hours or until solid.

Blend bananas

Once frozen, place the banana slices in a blender or food processor.

Then add in the honey and proceed to blend until smooth and creamy. I found it was easier to pulse at first, then once it got creamier, I could blend it easier.

Assemble

After that, spoon the banana whip into individual glasses until they are about ⅓ to ½ full.

Next top each glass with the pineapple flavored sparkling water. Continue to stir several times, gently.

Garnish the glasses with a pineapple slice and a fun straw, if desired.

Serve drinks immediately and enjoy!

Fun variations to this Tropical Banana Sparkler Recipe

There are several fun ways to mix up the tropical banana sparkler. Here are a few variations to try:

• Minty Fresh: Add fresh mint leaves for a refreshing aroma. Muddle the mint with the banana for an extra burst of flavor.
• Mango Madness: Substitute half of the banana with fresh mango. This adds a tropical twist and vibrant color.
• Berry Blast: Add a handful of mixed berries, such as strawberries and blueberries. They provide a refreshing taste and beautiful presentation.
• Coconut Cream: Incorporate a splash of coconut milk for a creamy texture. This adds richness and enhances the tropical flavor.

How many servings does this recipe make?

This recipe makes about 5-6 beverages depending on the size of the glasses and how full you make them, so there should be plenty to share with the whole family. Of course, making extra is always a great idea because you never know who is going to ask for another glass!

Can I use a different flavor of sparkling water?

Absolutely! You can switch this recipe up however you want! Use a cherry flavor, lemon-lime, or whatever else you think might taste good. You can even swap out the bananas for a different fruit, like blueberries, if you really want to change it up.

Are banana sparklers suitable for people with dietary restrictions?

Tropical banana sparklers can be made to accommodate various dietary needs. By ensuring that the honey is substituted with a suitable sweetener, they can be vegan-friendly and safe for those avoiding certain ingredients.

When to serve these tropical drinks?

Tropical banana sparklers are perfect for warm weather gatherings, children’s parties, or family celebrations. They add a festive touch and can complement other tropical-themed food and beverages.

Can I make tropical banana sparklers ahead of time?

Yes, preparation ahead of time is feasible. The ingredients can be prepped and stored, but it’s best to combine them right before serving to maintain the carbonation and freshness.
