Treat yo’ self with this most-amazing
Banana Rumchata Colada.
Are you in the mood for Summer yet? If not, this Banana Rumchata Colada will certainly help to get you in the mood.
This weekend was absolutely beautiful, so the hubby and I got a head start on our outdoor to-do list and began some weeding and also taking our patio furniture out of our of shed and setting up our outdoor living space. I tend to grill year-round but my patio was looking pretty bare with just the grill so it is nice to have everything set up and ready for warmer weather.
After working outside all day it was only natural that I reward me and the hubby with a cocktail. I had Summer on my mind so I decided to whip up a fresh, frozen drink. I’ve had some Rumchata sitting in my fridge since the holidays and I wanted to use it up. It is a heavier liquor and feels very wintery to me but I thought it would be good in either a Colada or an adult milkshake so I went with the Colada. I didn’t have any pineapple on hand so I went with a Banana Colada instead – hence the Banana Rumchata Colada.
Banana Rumchata Colada
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 2 ounces rum or banana rum
- 4 ounces Rumchata
- 4 ounces cream or coconut milk
- 1 cup of ice
- Banana and Cherry for garnish
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.Add more cream if needed if mixture is too thick. Sprinkle with cinnamon and garnish with banana slice and cherry.
I just loved how the Rumchata, bananas, rum and cream combined to create a rich and frothy drink. To complete the drink I added a sliced banana, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a cherry. The Banana Rumchata Colada was the perfect beverage to end a busy day.
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the day than with a Banana Rumchata Colada.
Cheers and enjoy!

Amazingly yummy cocktail! I used Malibu rum for the rum, and half & half for the cream. It tasted like a banana coconut smoothie! YUM!
Delicious! I used the coconut milk suggestion but I got lucky and found some pineapple in the freezer. Brought it to the next level. Thanks for the great recipe, it’s going in the act!
Bacardi white rum is ok?
Absolutely!
What other rum would be ok to use?
There are so many types of rum varieties. Is there a certain kind you’d like use?

Thank you Kelsey! I’m so glad you are enjoying it. xoxo
