We were sober this time, promise
Some of you might recall my post back in December, where a friend and I concocted an improvised cocktail at a house party, consisting of bananas, ice cream, Chocolate Mickey Finn and Disaronno. Well, just recently we tried making it again (before the drinks started flowing!), this time taking the time to keep track of the quantities.
We used:
2 bananas, mashed
About two thirds of a one litre tub of Lyons Maid vanilla ice cream (roughly)
Disaronno
Chocolate, Fruit & Nut flavoured Mickey Finn
Using those quantities, we managed to create 5 glasses’ worth of cocktail, as pictured. It was just enough for the group of us, as I’d advise not making too much; perhaps just a little more than this would be just enough per serving.
Mash the bananas with a couple of scoops of ice cream, add a shot or two of each spirit, then continue to mash and stir whilst gradually adding in more ice cream as it becomes smoother, also adding in a little more alcohol if desired.
Alternative spirits we’ve considered (so far) are Barcardi vodka and Baileys Irish Cream – maybe next time!
