Hummingbird Recipe

[Maryann]

Maureen does make good dirty bananas! I've never been able to make a dirty banana at home that even closely resembles one in Jamaica. I recently found those little honey bananas, though, in a Caribbean market here, and those seem to taste a little more authentic. Here is the recipe I've used (1 serving, but I always quadruple):

1 ounce rum-based coffee liqueur (Tia Maria)
1 ounce rum cream or Bailey's-type liquor
1 ounce dark rum
2 ounces milk (sometimes I use vanilla ice cream)
1/2 ounce simple syrup (a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 sugar that is simmered until sugar is dissolved)
1/2 banana
1 cup ice

DIRECTIONS:
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend for 1 minute, or until desired consistency.
