Rainbow Banana




Labor Day weekend is here!  

How exciting.  

This weekend for us is baseball practice (surprising, I know) and a local Festival.  

We usually spend this weekend up at the lake with my folks, but I think those days may have passed for now.

Tonight I am going to do a short but sweet post.  

I need to do it quickly because our 9 year old's 4th grade teacher will be posted at 5:00 at the school and he needs to know who his teacher is soooo badly.  

Every 3-5 minutes he asks what time it is, so if we do not leave AT 5:00 I think I will be in lots and lots of trouble.

I wanted to make a blended cocktail today because it's incredibly hot out today.  

I initially made this cocktail out of 3 ingredients and it was more in the milkshake form.  Then I decided to add sprite to make it more liquidier.  

I personally liked the flavor of the milkshakier one best therefore you all get 2 recipes tonight!  My ratings are below for each cocktail.  

Above is an average of the two.



Here is a photo of the end result (thinner version):

rainbow banana cocktail, coconut rum, malibu rum, banana liqueur, rainbow sherbet, sprite, lemon-lime soda

Here is my recipe for a Rainbow Banana (thicker version):
(This version gets 5 shots out of 5)

  • 2 ounces coconut rum
  • 1 ounce banana liqueur
  • 1 cup rainbow sherbet

  • 2 1/2 ounces coconut rum
  • 2 ounces banana liqueur
  • 1 cup rainbow sherbet
  • 1 1/2 ounces sprite
Either way you decide to make it you will use a blender.  Basically all you need to do is put all of the ingredients in the blender and blend them up until completely mixed.  It's just that easy!


Happy Labor Day weekend to all!

Cheers!!

    1. Actually I just created this cocktail so I have only tried it with coconut rum. I'm sure it would be good with regular rum as well.
