Happy Cocktail Friday everybody!! or better yet, Happy Birthday Dad! Must be awesome to have an April Fool’s Day birthday because it’s guaranteed no one will forget it 🙂 Anyways, being totally honest, as I’m sitting here writing this, I seriously can’t quit yawning.
I think at this point an IV of espresso (fyi when people say EXXpresso, my head almost explodes) would be the only thing to help, and for reals y’all it’s totally my fault. I have stayed up late almost every night this week to finish binge watching the first 3 seasons (specifically 2.5 because the 3rd season is broken up into 2 parts, whatevs) of The Blacklist–seriously, it’s that good, go watch it ASAP, and if you do, you have to watch from the very first episode or it will be majorly confusing.
What does all of this have to do with this drink? Absolutely nothing, except maybe I’m ready for the weekend and a cocktail? Yeah, that works…Anyways, this drink is everything y’all, it is perfectly fruity and you do not taste the alcohol you just feel it, and I will most definitely be topping more drinks off with mango nectar, yumm! Also, a heads up, I’m probably going to be bringing y’all a lot of drinks with banana rum in it because I have maybe the biggest bottle ever of it because it was literally the only one I could find. Have a wonderful weekend everybody & thank you so much for stopping by.
giant bottle of Banana Rum…
orange/banana juice…
then a splash (or two) of mango nectar…
then enjoy!!!
- Cruzan Banana Rum.
- Simply Orange Juice With Banana.
- Mango Nectar.
- Decorative Sugar For Rims (Optional).
- If putting sugar rim on your glass(es), place honey around the edges of your glass and dip into your sugar.
- Place one shot (1 Ounce) of Banana Rum into your glass.
- Fill almost the rest of your glass(es) with the orange/banana juice, then top with the mango nectar.
- Stir all ingredients together, and enjoy!!
- Please feel free to put another shot or two of the banana rum in your drink(s) if you want it stronger.
- Also, I highly recommend zesting an orange over your drink, you won't hate it :-).
