Banana Cream Colada

Banana Cream Colada

5 shots out of 5

First off, I want to apologize for not doing something that I wanted to do......which you never knew about............but I feel I should apologize.  Today is St. Patrick's Day and I wanted to have posted some of my favorite "green" cocktails for you all to look through a couple days ago.  Then baseball games, soccer games and a double birthday party I hosted last night all got in the way.  Instead I decided that since it's such beautiful weather out today, I would pull out my blender and use one of our banana's and just create a nice blended cocktail.

I gave today's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  This cocktail is banana-ey, so if you're not a huge banana fan you might not want to try this one.  I LOVE this one and since I was totally in the mood for banana's, I love this one even more today.  I did end up adding pineapple juice to this cocktail because at first (even for me) it was a bit too banana-ey.  In this cocktail the banana, coconut and pineapple flavors all mix pretty darn well together (which they usually do) and the vanilla ice cream gives it a bit of a creamy flavor which is nice.

Here is my recipe for a Banana Cream Colada:

• 2 oz coconut rum
• 1 small banana
• 1/2 oz banana liqueur
• 1 1/2 oz pineapple juice
• 1 oz cream of coconut
• 1/2 C vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 C ice

In a blender, add all of the ingredients above.  Blend until your ice is gone and everything is mixed in well.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all.  I hope you are wearing your green so that you don't get pinched!!

Cheers!!
