Hawaiian Heart Throb Smoothie

“Influenced by a vacation in Maui, this tropical drink is a blend of strawberries, bananas, grenadine, coconut cream & pineapple juice.”
- Red Robin Concoctions Menu

2/3 cup frozen strawberries, about 6-10
1/2 banana, peeled
2 Tsp grenadine
2 Tsp coconut cream
4 Tsp pinapple juice, frozen cubes
1-2 cube of ice
1 shot Vodka

Made according to the description and ingredient list from Red Robin, except the Vodka part. Dump everything into blender, should take up about 2 cups total. If your blender is not strong enough to blend whole ice cube, try crushing it into smaller pieces with a mullet first. Blend with slow pulses, so ice settles to the bottom and blend evenly. Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy :)

1 shot glass = 1.5 measure
1 measure = 3/4 oz = 1.5 Tsp

1 shot Kahlua
1 shot Baileys Irish Cream
1 shot Vodka
4-6 scoops of vanilla ice cream
1-3 cubes of ice

Dump everything into blender, don’t worry about amount of ice cream, more the merrier. Basically everything should take up about 2 cups in the blender. Use quick pulse mode to make sure ice settles to the bottom for even blend. Pour into chilled glass and enjoy :)

Kahlua and Irish Cream have low alcohol content compare to Vodka, this is only slightly stronger than smoothie. But if you want more buzz, try 1.3 shot of everything or 1.5 shot of Vodka.

Pina Colada

3 shots of Daily’s Pina Colada Mix (see substitution below)
1 shot of Rum
2 Tsp pineapple juice, frozen cube
1-3 cubes of ice

Blend everything together, serve in a chilled glass.

You can also substitute Rum with Vodka, or half white rum half dark rum. 1 shot of alcohol is just right for a smoothie type of drink. You can also try 1.5 shot, but any more than that the alcohol will over power the fruity taste.

If you don’t have the mix, substitute it with:
1 shot pineapple juice
4 Tsp coconut cream
1 Tsp sugar syrup

I usually use shot glass for measurement of most ingredients and large chinese table spoon for the rest. Figure most people can measure their alcohol tolerance by shots. But most recipies will use “measure” or other standard measurement units.

1 shot glass = 1.5 measure
1 measure = 3/4 oz = 1.5 Tsp
