Sue and Me with a Dirty Banana

 


This photo of me and Sue was taken on the cruise the drink is a Dirty Banana. Even though it usually has coffee liqueur both of us had it made without that, as I don’t like anything coffee.

Sue drank a small amount of hers then had to rush to the loo as she is lactose intolerant, so I drank hers as well as mine.

A Dirty Banana is typically a sweet, creamy tropical cocktail made with banana, coffee liqueur, rum, and often cream or milk, usually blended with ice.

A common version includes:

  • Banana
  • White or dark rum
  • Coffee liqueur, such as KahlĂșa
  • Cream, milk, or Irish cream
  • Ice

It tastes like a banana-coffee milkshake with alcohol.

  3. I tend to pass on fancy drinks, though that one sounds quite tasty.
