Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Liquids
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
- 1 oz coconut cream
- 1 oz pineapple juice
- 1 oz light rum
- 1 oz dark rum
- 1/2 oz banana liqueur (optional, for extra banana flavor)
- 1/2 oz grenadine (for sweetness and color)
Other
- Ice (enough to fill blender halfway)
- Pineapple wedge or cherry (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and slice the ripe banana, and gather all other ingredients including coconut cream, pineapple juice, light rum, dark rum, banana liqueur (if using), grenadine, and ice.
- Combine in Blender: Place banana slices, coconut cream, pineapple juice, both rums, banana liqueur (if using), grenadine, and ice (fill blender halfway) into the blender for smooth and creamy texture.
- Blend Smoothly: Blend all ingredients until smooth. Adjust the texture by adding more pineapple juice if a thinner consistency is desired, or more ice for a thicker, slushier drink.
- Strain If Desired: If using a cocktail shaker, strain the blended mixture to remove any pulp for a cleaner drink; otherwise, pour directly.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour into a tall or hurricane glass, garnish with a pineapple wedge or cherry, serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors.
Notes
- Optional banana liqueur enhances banana flavor but can be omitted.
- Adjust ice and juice quantities to customize thickness and sweetness.
- Serve immediately for best freshness and flavor.
- Use a high-powered blender for a smoother texture.
- Grenadine adds sweetness and vibrant color; adjust amount based on preference.
