Too bland but has potential. I’m a classic Mai Tai lover &clairin-sipping gal, but sometimes you want a well-blended frothy cocktail. Goal is banana milkshake with a mild kick. Giffords liqueur is lovely, but in this, cheap 99 Bananas is better option.
I recommend doubling the rum. Do 1.5-2X banana too; best if very ripe and frozen ( for taste and froth). Don’t sub darker chocolate of any kind; not better; trust me. Blend all except ice, then pour over cracked ice. It’ll dilute soon enough.
