1 ounce banana liqueur
1 ounce cream of coconut
2 ounces pineapple juice
3 ounces crushed ice

recipe tips
If the drink is too thick, add a little more pineapple juice to thin it.
For an extra frosty texture, freeze the pineapple juice in ice cube trays and use these instead of crushed ice.
Try different types of rum for different flavors.
Chill the glass in the freezer beforehand for frosty drink.
If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a teaspoon of simple syrup or honey.
For a stronger banana flavor, add an extra splash of banana liqueur.
Enjoy responsibly, as this delicious drink can be quite potent without realizing it because of the sweet flavor.
common recipe questions
Can I use fresh bananas instead of banana liqueur?
Fresh bananas can be used for a more natural flavor. Add a little extra sweetener if needed.
Is it possible to make this drink in advance?
It's best served immediately after blending for the best texture and flavor but you can make it in advance and store it in the freezer. Thaw until slushy enough to put in the blender.
tools needed
Blender: For combining all the ingredients and creating a smooth, creamy texture for the cocktail. If you don't have a blender, mixing vigorously with a whisk or spoon may work, but won't achieve the same consistency.
Tall Glass: To pour the blended Banana Mama cocktail into. A fun tropical-themed glass can enhance the beachy vibes while sipping on your drink.
Measuring Jigger or Shot Glass: For accurately measuring the amounts of rum, banana liqueur, cream of coconut, and pineapple juice. Eyeballing it might lead to unbalanced flavors or make the drink too strong.
Straw: A straw is handy for sipping the Banana Mama and getting that tropical vacation feel.
what goes with it?
Sizzling BBQ Ribs: The tropical flavors of the Banana Mama will provide a refreshing contrast to the smoky, meaty goodness of BBQ ribs.
Crispy Coconut Shrimp: The creamy coconut in the Banana Mama will complement the sweet coconut flakes on the shrimp for a tropical flavor.
Island Jerk Chicken: The light and dark rum in the Banana Mama will enhance the flavors of jerk chicken for a taste of the Caribbean in every bite.

This drink is a perfect drink when you want to drink a whole lot and not feel a hangover. Just replace the banana liquor with a real banana and you will feel great. I drank about 16 of these in about 4 days and woke up every day feeling great b
