The classic Banana Crantini is made with vodka, triple sec, banana liqueur, cranberry juice, and lime juice, while the non-alcoholic version uses sparkling water instead of vodka.

I had this over the holidays and I must say they are so easy to make and taste wonderful. This doesn't have to be a holiday drink, but would be terrific summer spritzer too. If you like Cranberry Juice try this one.

This is a great drink when you are out at the lake or entertaining guests in your backyard! It combines vodka and cranberry juice with a generous splash of lemon-lime soda. Blend with ice for a slushy variation!

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the cocktail will be. They should have brown spots on their skin.
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries will give the cocktail a tart and tangy flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries instead.
- Use a good quality vodka. The vodka will be the main flavor in the cocktail, so it's important to use a good quality vodka. Try using a vodka that is smooth and has a clean flavor.
- Use fresh lime juice. Fresh lime juice will add a bright and citrusy flavor to the cocktail. If you don't have fresh lime juice, you can use bottled lime juice instead.
- Use a simple syrup. A simple syrup will add a touch of sweetness to the cocktail. To make a simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
- Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge. A lime wedge will add a pop of color and a touch of citrus flavor to the cocktail.
Conclusion:
The banana crantini is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. Whether you're hosting a party or just looking for a fun and festive drink to enjoy at home, the banana crantini is sure to be a hit.
