I wanted one of these ever since I saw Michael and Fredo Corleone knocking them back in Havana in The Godfather, part II. I look at this one as a fun drink with cinematic history. It’s a pretty little Cuban cocktail that you can’t drink many of, the sweet will back up on you, but, with a buddy or another couple, in a shady spot on a summer’s day, why the hell not?
Here we go –
- 2 oz Light or White Rum
- ½ oz Banana liquor
- ½ oz lime juice
- ½ small banana, cut into pieces
- ½ cup crushed ice
Blend it all up in a blender ‘til its smooth, serve in champagne or cocktail glass then take your brother out fishing in the lake behind your house.
