As we end the summer, I find myself in a decadent mood.  I harken back to my bartending days and one of my first ice cream drinks I learned to make (did not learn of the Hummer till I lived in MI), and fell in love with, was the Banana Banshee, However, my version includes the addition of Vanilla Vodka which makes it a “Screaming” Banana Banshee.  I love the flavor of banana and I was always a sucker for a good milkshake and the Screaming Banana Banshee is the adult version of a great ice cream drink. This is not a drink you will order often since the calories are very high, and its usually a one and done drink, but wow is it delicious.  Perfect for a hot summer day by the pool or after a long day in the sun it is a very decadent treat.  Great news is you can also serve this as an after-dinner desert cocktail to end the night.  The Screaming Banana Banshee does not disappoint and every now and then it is an indulgence the is worth the extra hour in the gym.  Enjoy!!!!
