Bananaberry Freeze
Bananaberry Freeze
Ah, if only kitchen cloning was an exact science.
While working on this one I saw the same bartender make the drink two different ways on two different days. Only after a firm grilling did I get her
admitting to her personal “improvement” to the chain’s secret recipe. The official clone includes the
ingredients found below. But if you want to add a little pineapple juice — as some independent thinking
bartenders are apt to do — you might discover you have indeed created a tastier version of this refreshing smoothie. On that day the cloning gods shall be looking the other way.
But, for heaven’s sake, be sure your banana is soft and ripe. This is a detail the gods won’t ignore.
