Fresh cherries and vanilla ice cream are joined by coconut rum, in this deliciously fun adult beverage.
It's summer time and this month some of my blogging buddies and I thought it would be super fun to do a summer time drink round up. So, for the past week, we have been sharing 3 drink recipes (with 3 recipe this week) perfect for summer!
I don't indulge in alcohol, or wine, that often and I don't care for beer. But once in a while, after a long hard day, or while visiting with friends, or around a camp fire; I'll indulge and let my hair down. The thing I like about these milkshakes is that I can indulge even when I don't want to be drinking spirits. Mind you the coconut rum adds an awesome flavour to these grown up drinks, but I like the "virgin" version of the drink too. And it's a great way to let the kiddos indulge.
Mommy's Cherry Coconut Milkshakes
12 fresh cherries, pitted and chopped
1-2 (1.5-3 oz) shots of coconut flavoured rum (I used Malibu Rum)
3 large scoops of vanilla ice cream
whipped cream
toasted coconut
fresh cherries for garnish
In a blender place the cherries and coconut rum. Top with ice cream and blend until smooth. Pour into a large glass, top with whipped cream,toasted coconut and a fresh cherry. Enjoy and please remember to drink responsibly.
If you drink please do not drive!
Non alcoholic version: substitute 1/4 C coconut milk, for the coconut rum and add 1/2 tsp coconut extract.
