Oh the irony!

A few days ago I posted about how I was using up the stocks of spirits in the kitchen cupboard by adding brandy to my coffee and suchlike, since I’m not really a regular drinker of spirits and my partner has given up drinking. https://www.mylot.com/post/3428515/driven-to-secret-drinking @Tampa_girl7 suggested adding brandy or rum to a chocolate milkshake. That sounded interesting - I decided to try it with banana. I am now a total convert. Previously, dark rum was probably my least favourite spirit (apart from perhaps Korean firewater). But blitz up a couple of ripe bananas with milk and a spoonful of vanilla ice-cream, then add it to a slug of rum and it is transformed! I can see more of these in my future, especially when the weather is a bit warmer and we are able to see friends again. I may even have to buy another bottle of rum - the irony!

Once we are allowed to meet up I'm going to try a few of these on my friends. I'll probably have to buy more rum!

Have you tried a "ti punch". It is half the juice of a lime or a lemon+cane syrup+rum. Seems very sweet, but it is very strong and it may be difficult to stand up after a couple of glasses. I have tried your kind of milkshakes with vodka : perfect drink

@fleura Sorry, but sounds quite unpalatable to me. Lose the bananas and I’ll be happy with the rum and ice cream!

Oh no, the bananas are the last to go as far as I'm concerned!

That will be so funny if you have to start buying spirits!

Especially if it was rum - never my first choice (or even second, third or fourth)!

Looks good, but don't over use it not good for health

You're right - it would be easy to do, since it doesn't taste strong at all.

It does sound good. I'm glad you're finding ways to take care of your back-stock. *really grinning at you*
