The Banana Mama cocktail is a sun-soaked Caribbean classic that brings vacation vibes to your glass. This sweet and fruity drink is perfect for poolside lounging, beach parties, or anytime you need a mini getaway.

Combining the smooth richness of banana with the tropical flavors of coconut, pineapple, and a splash of rum, this cocktail is a refreshing escape from the ordinary. With its creamy texture and vibrant notes, Banana Mama is a go-to choice for anyone who loves tropical drinks that are both flavorful and easy to make. Whether you’re hosting a summer gathering or just relaxing after a long day, this drink delivers a little taste of paradise with every sip.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana (medium-sized)
  • 1 oz light rum
  • 1 oz coconut rum
  • 1 oz dark rum (optional, for added depth)
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 oz orange juice
  • 1 oz coconut cream
  • ½ cup crushed ice or more as needed
  • Maraschino cherry and pineapple wedge (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Peel the banana and slice it into smaller chunks for easier blending. The riper the banana, the creamier and sweeter the drink will be.
  2. In a blender, combine the banana pieces, light rum, coconut rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and coconut cream. If you prefer a stronger drink, add 1 oz of dark rum for a rich molasses flavor that balances the fruitiness.
  3. Add the crushed ice into the blender. The amount can vary depending on your texture preference—use less ice for a creamier drink, or more ice for a frozen slushy consistency.
  4. Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 to 45 seconds depending on your blender’s power.
  5. Taste the drink and adjust ingredients if needed—add more coconut cream for richness, or a splash more juice to mellow the alcohol content.
  6. Pour the Banana Mama into a tall hurricane or cocktail glass. You can also use a chilled mason jar or tiki mug for a fun island presentation.
  7. Garnish with a maraschino cherry, a wedge of pineapple, and a small cocktail umbrella for a festive tropical look.
  8. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy the blissful flavors of the tropics in every sip.
