Drink Help

[mjc12771]

I was so excited to try a dirty banana in Negril as I was hoping they'd be like the ones in the DR but after searching for recipes it appears they are more coffee based instead of more chocolate based like the ones in the DR. I think I would go back to the DR to just get one.

So now I'm looking for suggestions on new drinks to try.

Don't like: Beer, Coconut, Coffee (ok with a little kuhlau flavor)

Like: fruity, chocolate, Bailey's, Rum

I know the basic like margarita and daiquiri but looking for something new.

Thanks

Small glass...Fill half way with Overproof and the rest with water....It works for 100,000 Jamaicans why not try one

How about a Purple Rain:

Collins glass
Ingredients
1 1/4 oz. Curacao, blue
1 1/4 oz. Vodka
2 oz. Grenadine
1/4 oz. Lime Juice
2 oz. Pineapple Juice
Mixing Instructions
Add ice and mix in blender for a frozen drink. Or shake with ice and pour into ice-filled glass.

Or a good old fashioned Rum Punch. Every bar has their own recipe and they are usually heavy hitters!

Mike- Purple Rain looks like one I will have to try

I'd try a purple rain or rum punch. Rum punch will differ slightly at each place. I've seen them made as simple as rum and fruit punch to a mixture of several different types of rums and juices. Most are much stronger then they taste.

Substitute rum for the vodka... Much better imho. And rum is local!

I've had dirty bananas many places in Negril and they all tasted like chocolate to me. I never noticed any coffee taste at all.
