Banana Boat

Day 58

Banana Boat

5 shots out of 5

I have to share this little story with you.  Not thinking of how I looked doing this, I had made tonight's cocktail, Banana Boat, and LOVED it soooo much that I needed to walk down to Steph's house (Here's her awesome site) with martini glass in hand for her to try it!  I walked down, knocked on her door, handed her the cocktail to try......mission accomplished.  Now for the walk home.  Happy with myself and my cocktail, I turned around and started walking home.  Along drives a guy in a red explorer, totally staring at me with the biggest "way to go girl" smile on his face!  It totally made me smile, because at that moment I realized what I looked like!  He gets to the corner, rolls down his window and sticks his arm out to give me a BIG wave before he disappears behind the houses.  Just thinking of what it all must have looked like makes me laugh.  OK, onto tonight's cocktail.

I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  WOWZERS, this is a very good cocktail!  I am SOOO enjoying the banana liqueur in this one!  Tastes just like bananas!  Each ingredient compliments the other in such a fantastic way that I wish I would have known about this cocktail earlier!  Hope you try and enjoy a Banana Boat!

Here is the recipe for a Banana Boat:

• 1 shot coconut rum
• 1 shot banana liqueur
• 2 shots pineapple juice

In a shaker add ice, rum, banana liqueur and pineapple juice.  Shake it up real well to get everything mixed up good.  In a chilled martini glass, strain your cocktail and enjoy!

Cheers to banana liqueur!  I am enjoying cocktails that have this liqueur in them.  It's a liqueur that is a pleasant surprise, I must say!
