How to Make a Hummingbird Cocktail

Use sliced strawberries to garnish your Hummingbird cocktails.

Hummingbird cocktails are rum-based smoothies served in Jamaica. They taste like ice cream milkshakes but pack a punch thanks to the rum cream and coffee liqueur. If you don't have strawberry syrup, you can use strawberry preserves or a handful of frozen or fresh strawberries instead. Garnish with sliced strawberries and bananas and serve in milkshake glasses for a tropical treat.

• 1 banana
• 1 ounce strawberry syrup
• 2 ounces evaporated milk
• 1 ounce coffee liqueur
