Tie one on after a quiet dinner by serving this seductive rum and brandy coffee creation.
3 tablespoons chilled espresso or strong coffee
1 tablespoon light rum
1 tablespoon brandy
1 tablespoon brown crème de cacao
2 to 3 teaspoons honey, or to taste
1 cup partially frozen diced bananas
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
Place all the ingredients in a blender and mix by using the on/off pulse function until the ingredients are mostly blended. Continue mixing, gradually increasing the speed, until the mixture is smooth. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a Vanilla Pirouette (see Great Garnishes), if desired.
