List of viewable recipes from "Project Foodie" by

I'm not sure when it started but a few years ago Husband and I began trying out different cocktails.  We started with simple drinks like Rum & Coke and Gin & Tonic.  We still drink these, but we've also tried lots of other types of drinks. 

Lately its been smoothies, ‘adult’ versions of smoothies that is, where we combine milk, ice, and various alcohols.  These make a really nice in-home movie night drink with some popcorn or just on their own. We enjoy them all year long - even in the winter.  Of course we eagerly ate ice cream on the coldest Buffalo winter nights when we were in college so perhaps we're just indifferent to the cold effect.  At any rate, our current favorite smoothie is what we call a "banana-coffee-smoothie".  While we really improvise each time we make it the general recipe is:

  • 1 Banana
  • 3 shots Kahlua
  • 2 shots Vodka
  • 1 shot Baileys Irish Crème
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3 cups ice

Blend until smooth adding more ice or milk to achieve desired consistency. 

Yeild:  about 4 drinks.

We vary this "recipe" by adding different alcohols such as Tequila or Rum instead of, or in addition to, the Vodka; dashes of orange liquor or Crème de Menthe for a surprise taste; and tonic water with more ice if we have some around that we want to use up.  Husband also likes to add some coffee beans for a bit of texture and added coffee flavor.  As a result the drinks never really come out the same more than once but that doesn't matter they always seem to taste great....
