Banana-drinks?

21 years ago

-I am not talking about milkshakes, I am throwing a barbecue here on friday, and I want to impress my friends with some tropical drinks with "mucho alcohol". ( Here in Norway, most people just drink potato-moonshine).

I thought I read a post about someone bringing bananas to garden-parties and putting them in the blender with rum... Sounds extemely delicious...Any more tips?

Happy growing by the way.... he he

    Don't ask me how I know this...

    Banana Mudslide - blend together:
    1 1/4 oz vodka
    1 oz Kahlua
    2 oz Irish creme
    1 banana

    Dirty Banana - (many variations exist) - blend together:
    1 1/4 oz rum
    1/4 oz creme de banana
    1 oz rum creme
    1 oz Kahlua
    1/2 banana
    1 oz coconut creme

    I do a trip to the Florida Keys every year and this one is a great afternooner...makes a good breakfast or dinner too...:>)...Mix together a concoction of...mango, banana, a squeeze of lime, pineapple juice, coconut juice, vanilla ice cream, some ice, and a lot of rum...some dark and some white. Blend it all together in a blender until it's nice and creamy like a smoothie. No exact measurements are needed...just experiment to suit your needs. If you want to add a little papaya, go for it.

    ...I call it the Keys Kooler. Soaking in a hot tub...warm on the bottom and cool on the top...Z

    Captian Morgan,Captian Morgan,Captian Morgan,and more Captian Morgan. Spiced Rum in case you are not familiar with it.
    My husband calls me Mrs. Captian Morgan.
    I mix it with just about anything but bananas sound perfect.

    Thanks all!

    This will help bring a tropical touch to my garden-party! But offcourse, my new musa basjoos will do much of the work!

    ...it's almost time for breakfast over there in Norway, so after you've had your coffee, grab a few of the ingredients you've selected and do a little experimentation. Mix up a few different blends and see what you like. Maybe you can come up with something different and give the recipe back to us to try. If all else fails, just pass around a bottle of Tequila with a shot glass. Have fun with your tropical blast...and don't forget the grass skirts...Z

    Aloha MrBungalow!
    Banana drinks are an awesome idea, however, I thought Musa Basjoo is an ornamental banana?? someone please correct me if I am wrong but the fruit they produce is inedible and very fibrous, hence the name "Japanese Fibrous Banana". I would sure hate for you to have your lovely garden party and get a shock upon trying to use those bananas. Perhaps you could go to your local grocery or market and purchase some bananas and tell a little white lie to your friends that they are off your plant.... :)

    HulaGal; That's exactly what I did! he he
    Gran Naine/Chiquita and Capt. morgan from the store did the job though.
    It was a succesful party. I got many questions about my plants, and we will probably see some more tropical inspired gardens here in Bergen soon!
    The bad news is that I have lumberjacks working in my head today.... I guess I got a little carried away with the banana-drinks.
    Thankyou all for great input in a kind of "off-topic" post!
