    What is the Dirty Monkey Drink?

    The dirty monkey essentially tastes like a creamy banana milkshake with an additional rum bite at the back end. It is super creamy due to the mixing of the ice with the banana liqueur, kahlua, banana and creme of coconut.

    This cocktail does take a little preparation (like the frozen mudslide cocktail or the frozen brandy alexander) and a good ice crushing blender, so it’s not as simple as a dump and stir. You’re essentially making a milkshake type drink complete with a huge squirt of whipped cream to top this one off. However, it still goes together pretty fast and is great for sipping in the heat of the summer.

    Whip up a dirty monkey cocktail for tropical vacations, beach visits, pool parties or even a summer BBQ. It’s a great summer cocktail. It is so creamy, thick and decadent that is a perfect dessert drink as well.

    Another banana based cocktail to try is the funky monkey or the monkeys lunch cocktail.

    How to make this drink:

    This drink is a little more complicated as it involves a blender and a handful of ingredients. However, The taste makes it worth the time.
