Seriously, I need help. No, not that kind of help. I swear, I’m not an alcoholic. The last drink I made was last weekend (Key Lime Martini– yummy!) and I haven’t had one since. Until tonight.
I had some bananas ripening on top of the fridge that I needed to do something with and lots of rum leftover from the Rum and Coke cupcakes, and since I am off from work tomorrow and Tuesday (woohoo! four day weekend!) I decided to mix up a new cocktail. It’s really good. The only problem is that I don’t know what to call it.
Here’s the recipe:
As Yet Unnamed Cocktail
Ingredients:
1 cup milk (I used unsweetened almond milk, due to some bizarre adult onset lactose intolerance)
1 ripe banana
1 shot dark rum
1 shot Bailey’s Caramel
1/2 shot Creme de Banana
ice
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
And then, after you’ve had one, tell me what I should call it! I was thinking of all the typical monkey type names…bananas and all that jazz, but I think they’ve all be done. Then my boyfriend said I should call it BananaFanaFoFana (is that how you spell that nonsense?!). Cute, but when this recipe goes viral and drunk people everywhere are ordering it at bars that’s going to be quite a mouthful. “Can I have another BananaFanFo…aww, just make me some more monkey juice bartender!”
So, any thoughts? Or are you too busy busting out the blender? ; )
The Irish Banana!
I like that one! I think it may be the winner! 🙂
Caramel Bananas Foster (Bananas Foster has bananas of course, and cinnamon and rum) –you could try adding cinnamon to see if it enhances the flavor. Or maybe you could call it Gone Bananas! Or Monkeys on the Brain! Or Monkey Brains!
Perhaps I should try making it again with Rumchata – that has cinnamon in it already!
