Bananas Foster (Fireball Version)



It's Wednesday, Day 3 of my "5 Days Of Fireball".  

Tonight we have our second oldest's Open House at school.  He is excited to go and very excited to check out the 5th grade classrooms for next year.  He already knows who he wants as his teacher, so we will cross our fingers and hope he gets his choice.  

Tonight is a good opportunity to show our oldest daughter the kindergarten classrooms as well.  

Yes......3 of 4 will be starting kindergarten in the fall...breathe.....just breathe......can you tell it's all happening a little too quickly for us?


Today I am making Fireball's Banana Foster shooter.  

I have to admit that I have been looking forward to trying this one out for a while now......yes solely because it has banana liqueur in it.  

In this shooter the Fireball is the main thing you will taste.  I absolutely do taste the banana liqueur (phewph) as well, which is a very nice compliment to the Fireball.  The whipped cream vodka adds a creamy smoothness to it, which works perfectly this cocktail.  

All in all it was a good shooter......personally I would cut back a little with the Fireball so that it wasn't as overwhelming as it was.....but I did enjoy it.

Here is the recipe for a Banana Foster:

  • 1/2 ounce whipped vodka

In a shaker, add ice and all of the ingredients above.  Shake and strain into a shot glass.



Here is to Day 3 of my 5 days mission.  I am having fun and I hope you are all enjoying it as well.

Cheers!!

Bananas Foster Cocktail

Day 28



Bananas Foster
5 shots out of 5





Another Ah-maze-ing Banana puree cocktail!!  

Can I just say that I LOVE making blended cocktails!!  


My husband and I are on a total blended cocktail kick now.  


For some reason we always "thought" we didn't really like blended cocktails.......not quite sure why now.  


They are so yummy, refreshing and not to alcohol tasting, but be careful, they're creepers!!


Tonight's cocktail is the Bananas Foster and I gave it 5 shots out of 5.  

It tastes like we're sitting at a table and eating our dessert of Bananas Foster....well except we're drinking it of course.  


If you're a lover of (or just enjoy them from time to time) bananas, I highly recommend you try tonight's cocktail or my other creation Swing'n Banana Daiquiri.  



Here is a photo of the end result:



Here is a photo of the ingredients:




Here is the recipe for my Bananas Foster:

  • 1 Tbsp of brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 shots banana puree
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 3/4 shot cognac
  • 1/2 shot amaretto
  • 1/2 shot cream
In a blended add a cup of ice, brown sugar, banana puree, lemon juice, cognac, amaretto and cream.  Blend them all together so that there is no ice left.  Pour your cocktail into a margarita glass and enjoy!!



Cheers to the people at Finest Call for their awesome Banana Puree!!
