So, I just finished my last glass of wine. I should never go into a night with only one glass left in the bottle. I always think “oh, one glass.. that’s all I need,” and then I’m always severely disappointed when I finish it.
So, I raided the liquor cabinet (the top of the fridge) and decided that I need to find a way to use this almost-full bottle of Captain Morgan (not our favorite) that we’ve had since Christmas.
What goes with spiced rum? The only things I like with spiced rum are Bananas Foster and Hot Buttered Rum.
And then it occurred to me – vanilla ice cream! People commonly use vanilla ice cream when they make hot buttered rum (I never have, but I’ve read up on it). So, I thought, why not try an ice cream n’ rum ‘tini?
2 scoops of Breyer’s Natural Vanilla and about 3 shots of rum in a shaker… not a bad combination. Next time I will shake it with ice to help break down the ice cream chunks. I was thinking that I didn’t need them since the ice cream was already cold, but they would have helped churn it together better. It’s kind of strong. Maybe next time I will go a little lighter on the booze.
What should I name it? (I hope it doesn’t already exist)
