Coco-Rey Banana

This was an excellent drink that a number of us had at Kalahari.

This recipe as follows gets about 90% of the way there. Still in progress.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz aged white rum
  • 1 oz coconut rum
  • 3/4 oz Tempus Fugit Banana liqueur
  • 1 oz cream of coconut
  • 1.5 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 oz orange juices
  • ½ oz grenadine

Directions:

  • Add all ingredients to cocktail shaker.
  • Dry shake once to combine.
  • Pour over ice.

Notes:

  • This was served in tall 24oz cups over ice. Kalahari Drink Menu PDF
  • Youtube video with recipe. Ingredient amounts are from that. It also says to garnish with pineapple spear, pineapple leaf, and grape… by I think a quality maraschino cherry would be better than the grape.
  • Best success so far with replacing the white rum with 3/4 oz Bacardi and 1/4 oz Barbancourt
  • Reviews of SelvaRay white rum basically state and it’s evidently good, but nothing too special. Any decent, very smooth white rum with character would do. The SelvaRey coconut is a bit more alcoholic than Malibu, at 30% ABV.
  • I’ve not ever stocked banana liqueur, but various online sources I trust say Tempus Fugit is the way to go.
  • Linda and Aaron loved this.
  • Original ingredient list:
    • 1 oz SelvaRey white rum
    • 1 oz SelvaRey coconut rum
    • ½ oz Banana liqueur
    • 2 oz Piña Colada mix
    • 1 oz pineapple juice
    • 1 oz orange juices
    • ½ oz grenadine
