If you’ve followed us for a while, you probably know of our affinity for Bushwackers. After all, how can you not be enamored with a combination of chocolate, rum, Bailey’s, Amaretto, (and a few other delicious ingredients)?

During a visit to Foxy’s on Jost Van Dyke several years ago, we noticed a Bananawhacker on the menu. We asked if it was similar to a Bushwacker and our server said, “Just try it. You’ll like it…”. We tried it and we definitely liked it. At least, as far as we remember. Equally as potent with an added banana component, these are da bomb.

Missing the islands, we’ve been going through photos of our travels recently and came across a photo of that visit to Foxy’s in 2015 when we started with a Chicken Roti (Foxy’s makes a good one!) and a Bananawhacker.

Realizing we had yet to post a Bananawhacker recipe, we found that Foxy’s is not the only location that features Bananawhackers. Pensacola, Florida, another place to score an amazing Bushwacker, also features Bananawhackers, or Bananawackers, depending on the location. The recipes all appear to be slightly different, but I’m sure you can’t go wrong with any of them. The recipe below is the closest we remember to Foxy’s Bananawhacker, so enjoy, but be careful – they are strong but so delicious!

Bananawhacker

Servings:

Ingredients

1 medium Banana (ripe)
2 oz Gold or Aged Rum (we used Cruzan Aged Dark Rum)
1/2 oz Kahlua
1/2 oz Bailey's
1/2 oz Amaretto
1/2 oz Frangelico
up to 1 c Ice
Banana Slices
Freshly Grated Nutmeg

Instructions

Blend together the banana, rum, Kahlua, Bailey's, Amaretto, Frangelico and ice until very smooth. Start with less ice and add more as needed for consistency, but the more ice, the less taste.
Pour into a glass (this is similar to the one we used ), and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg and banana slices.
