With the frothy, fruity taste of a smoothie, and a hearty amount of rum, you'll be swept away to a better place. <br /><br />Here's how you make a lava flow:<br /><br />1 oz light rum<br />1 oz Malibu® coconut rum<br />2 oz strawberries<br />1 banana<br />2 oz pineapple juice<br />2 oz coconut cream<br /><br />Blend banana, coconut cream, and pineapple juice in a blender and set aside. In the bottom of a hurricane glass, stir together both rums and strawberries.<br /><br />Pour banana, coconut, pineapple mix slowly into the glass. The strawberry and rum mix should rise up the sides of the glass and create a tropical cocktail.2007/12/drink-16-lava-flow.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521192222044188806.post-8826691148873389581Mon, 26 Nov 2007 22:02:00 +00002007-11-26T14:09:40.755-08:00screwdriverDrink #15: Screwdriver<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="; border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137273590855339746" /></a>Nothing can quell the hammer beating in your head from a morning's hangover quite like a Screwdriver.

Guys, if you order a Blue Ball at a bar, you will leave home with two of the same. Only mix in the comfort of your own home. <br /><br />Ladies, you should also never order one of these. It sends the wrong signals to everyone involved. But, my god, what a conversation piece. Nothing gets the party started like a Blue Ball. <br /><br />Blue Ball recipe:<br /><br />1 oz raspberry vodka<br />1 oz coconut rum. <br />1 oz Blue Curacao liqueur<br /><br />Pour one part of all three ingredients plus ice into a shaker.
