Banana Strawberry Rum Runner Smoothie Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by margiekyle

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large banana, sliced and frozen
1/2 cup strawberries, frozen
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 cup banana strawberry yogurt
1 ounce dark rum
1 ounce banana brandy
1/4 teaspoon orange zest or extract

Steps:

  • Blend all ingredients.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rum. A light, flavorful rum, such as Bacardi or Cruzan, is a good choice for Rum Runners. If you prefer a darker, more robust rum, try Gosling's Black Seal or Mount Gay Eclipse.
  • Use fresh fruit juices. Fresh fruit juices add a bright, tropical flavor to Rum Runners. Orange juice, pineapple juice, and lime juice are all classic choices, but you can also experiment with other fruits, such as mango, papaya, or guava.
  • Add a splash of grenadine. Grenadine adds a touch of sweetness and color to Rum Runners. Be careful not to add too much, or the drink will become too sweet.
  • Serve Rum Runners chilled. Rum Runners are best served chilled, either on the rocks or frozen. If you're serving them frozen, blend all of the ingredients together until smooth.
  • Garnish with a pineapple wedge or cherry. A pineapple wedge or cherry adds a festive touch to Rum Runners. You can also garnish them with a lime wedge or a sprig of mint.

Conclusion:

Rum Runners are a delicious and refreshing cocktail that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your own taste.
