Beware! This delectable smoothie is not for the faint of heart. Oozing with flavors of coffee and spirits, it’s the perfect elixir to serve on St. Pat’s Day.
1/4 cup chilled espresso or strong coffee
2 tablespoons Irish whiskey
1 tablespoon Irish cream liqueur
1 tablespoon Kahlúa or other coffee liqueur
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 Crisp Banana Wafer (see Great Garnishes), if desired.
