About

This is a batido for grown-ups. Rum and fruit is a great combination, but add a little ice cream and it’s dynamite. Be careful with this one, as it goes down easy but packs a wallop! For those who don’t imbibe, it is also good without the rum.

Ingredients

1 small banana
½ cup vanilla ice cream
