This is by far my favorite vacation drink. It’s refreshing and tastes like a treat at the same time.
Here’s the original from our trip to Oahu in 2011:
Turns out I had been using too much Baileys and too much Kahlua in my homemade version. Opps! Thankfully, Turtle Bay released the official recipe here.
Turtle Bay's Monkey's Lunch
Ingredients
- 1 Banana
- 1.5 ounces Baileys
- 1.5 ounces Kahlua
- Ice about 1 to 1.5 cups
- Chocolate Syrup to line the glass
Instructions
- Add the first three ingredients to a blender. Blend.
- Then add ice and blend until smooth.
- Add chocolate syrup to the bottom and sides of the glass. Pour into your favorite glass (I'm partial to oversized wine glasses). Or add a straw and your favorite garnish and enjoy!
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
My opinion:
This is my favorite summer dessert drink. I love taking it to parties! Of note, only three servings fit into an empty Kahlua bottle.
Hmmm … wasn’t there macadamia nut liquor in it ?
Not in the original recipe, but that would make for a lovely addition! Please let me know if you try it!
