Welcome to our very first #BoozyFridays post, courtesy of our friends at CHOMP!

The creators of Hong Kong’s popular food rescue app are experts at reducing food waste, and they’ll be sharing a zero waste cocktail recipe with us every Friday that utilises some of the most common (and possibly, expiring) items in your pantry.

First up, we’ve got a delicious Overripe Banana Daquiri made with… you guessed it, overripe bananas!

First, make the syrup:

OVERRIPE BANANA SYRUP

INGREDIENTS

• 75g Overripe Banana – (about ½ a medium banana)
• 75g Cane Sugar – (about 1/3 cup)
• 50g Water – (just under 13/4 oz.)
• Pinch salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut your overripe banana into thin slices and place them in a small pan.
2. Add sugar on top of the slices and stir until you coat all of the banana pieces.
3. Let the bananas and sugar sit for about 3 hours and then add the water to the pan.
4. Heat the mixture gently over a medium heat for about 5 minutes without boiling.
5. Remove the mixture from heat and let sit covered in the fridge overnight.
6. Strain, bottle and keep refrigerated.

Then, use the banana syrup to make a daiquiri:
