A few years ago a friend introduced me to the BBC at a Jamaican resort (thanks FD). I have been trying to perfect it ever since!  When Pam asked me to send her a delicious summer drink recipe I knew it was time to finally get it right.  The BBC (stands for Baileys, Banana and Cream) has the consistency of something between a margarita and a milkshake. On a hot summer day it’s a much better way to use those browning banana’s than baking banana bread! It’s creamy and delicious and very refreshing. And it’s milk and bananas, so I like to tell myself that it must be good for me too!! Enjoy!!!

 

Here’s what you are going to need to make a BBC

BBC

Serves 2
1 banana
4 ounces Baileys Irish Cream
1 half cup of skim milk
4 tablespoons simple syrup
4-6 cups of ice

Put everything into a blender, mix until ice is blended well and enjoy.
If you have a Margaritaville use that. The consistency will be perfect!!

 

Now that’s a perfect summer drink to sip on while watching the sunset!
