Day 11: "Lava Flow"


This was my first blended drink, and since I didn’t have an actual blender I used a hand mixer! Despite this minor setback, I was definitely looking forward to this smoothie-with-rum concoction!

Here’s the recipe I used (taken from DrinksMixer.com):

1 oz light rum (Bacardi Superior Light Rum)
1 oz coconut rum (Malibu Coconut Rum)
2 oz strawberries
1 banana
2 oz pineapple juice (Dole Concentrated Pineapple Juice)
2 oz coconut cream (Simply Squeeze Coco Real Cream of Coconut)

Blend strawberries, banana, pineapple juice, and coconut cream and set aside. Pour all rum into a glass and add the blended fruit/juice/coconut cream mix. Stir well and serve.

This island-inspired cocktail can be served in almost any type of glassware, but is commonly served with a pineapple slice for garnishing.

Personal tasting notes: This drink was one of my favorites so far! Despite the problems with my lack of blender, it ended up tasting absolutely delicious, and I actually enjoyed the chunks of strawberry that were left behind. I would change nothing about this recipe, and I will definitely be having this drink again soon! : )
