When the folks at Blue Chair Bay challenged me to create a Memorial Day drink using one of their rums, my first thought was that as much as I love rum and rum punches and daiquiris and mojitos, I wasn’t sure what  I could contribute to the list of fruit-forward rum-based cocktails that are a staple of my summertime sipping. Then I discovered that they made a Banana rum, which, for me, brought up a completely different flavor possibilities than the fruity fruity drinks that first came to mind.

Summertime takes me back to visiting relatives in North Carolina—sweet tea, barbecue and banana pudding. Now, my aunt Jo made the absolute best banana pudding I’ve ever had. And in my family, we don’t do little pie pans. Our banana pudding is made in big casserole pans, like the kind you’d use to make a lasagne. Even with that hefty amount, Aunt Jo’s banana pudding never lasted long.

If you missed it, well, you missed it. My Blue Chair Bay Banana Rum recipe is an homage to my Aunt Jo and her signature dessert. The rum itself has a nice, subtle banana flavor, with some spice notes. I added an actual banana to bright the flavor up front. The Baileys adds the creamy texture and the Licor Cuarenta y Tres, a Spanish liqueur, brings the vanilla. If you’re grilling this Memorial Day, throw in some caramelized (grilled) banana for an added layer of flavor.chair and table rentals fort worth 1 large banana, peeled and frozenfur bean bag chair covers 6 oz Blue Chair Bay Banana Rumweb lawn chair with cup holder 2.25 oz Bailey’s Irish Creambuy rocking chair for nursery
