We're down to the 6 week mark on the countdown until Jamaica! In honor of this milestone I'm featuring one of my FAVORITE warm weather cocktails, a dirty banana!
This one is served at a lot of resorts in Jamaica and once you try one you will know why! It can best be described as the love child of a banana milkshake and a mudslide. Believe me... we drank our fair share of these - even ordered so many the bar gave us a serving tray one night! As soon as we were back in the states we KNEW we had to find the recipe!
Warning - you will need a blender. And this makes more than one drink, it makes atleast 2-4 depending on the size of your glasses!
DIRTY BANANA'S
1 ounce Kahlua
1 ounce rum cream*
2 ounces milk
1/2 ounce simple syrup (a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 sugar that is simmered until sugar is dissolved)
1/2 banana
1 cup ice
1 ounce Kahlua
1 ounce rum cream*
2 ounces milk
1/2 ounce simple syrup (a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 sugar that is simmered until sugar is dissolved)
1/2 banana
1 cup ice
Simply combine all the ingredients in a blender and go to town - you really can't mess up this recipe, we sort of "wing it" every time - make double batches, add more banana, more liquor, whatever!
*We prefer to use Cruzan Rum Cream, in Jamaica they use Sangsters but we haven't been able to find that up here. You may have to hit up a couple liquor stores before you find it but believe me it's worth it!
(If you are sittin there thinkin 'what the heck is rum cream', it's the same idea as Baileys, except instead of an Irish Whiskey blended with Irish Cream, it's a Rum blended with Irish Cream... it's REALLY good, like even by itself on ice!)
Enjoy!!

Thanks for the recipe! This was my husband's favorite drink on our honeymoon! We tried to recreate it a few weeks ago at my parents, and it didn't come out too great. I will definitely use this recipe next time!
