Recipe:

1 1/2 oz Vodka
4 oz Pineapple juice
1 oz Coconut Cream
1 slice Pineapple
1 Cherry

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend well at high speed. Pour into a tiki mug, ideally, or else a tall glass. Garnish with pineapple slice and cherry.

Recipe:

1 oz. Rum Cream Liqueur
1 oz. Coffee Liqueur
1 oz. Milk
1/2 oz. Strawberry Syrup
1/2 Banana
1 Cup Crushed Ice

Throw everything in the blender and blend well until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.

Notes

Drink introduced to me in Jamaica, and perfect for enjoying a few of while sitting by the caribbean. If you don’t have Rum Cream Liqueur, Bailey’s works almost as well.

Rating

- The blender, whole fruit and large volumes of ice make this a “once or twice in the summer-only” drink.

Recipe:

1 oz Vodka
1/2 oz Creme de Banane
1 dash Grenadine
Orange Juice

Build in a tall glass over ice in the order given.

Notes

A useful girl-drink to have in your repertoire for emergencies.
