You'll either love me or hate me for this.
Either you've never heard of a Hummer Cocktail and after you read this you're going to love me.
Or you already know that Hummers are the most luscious grownup version of a milkshake laced with Kahlua and rum, and you've been trying really really hard not to think about them, and this post will remind you, and you'll hate me.
The original Hummer, born in Detroit in the 60s, is made with vanilla ice cream. I've substituted coffee ice cream because it's my favorite. It deepens the flavor just a little. You can use chocolate, too. No coffee ice cream? Use vanilla and add a teaspoon of instant espresso mixed with a teaspoon of water. It'll do the trick.
Hummer Cocktail
serves 1 or 2
4 large scoops coffee ice cream
1 oz amber rum
1 oz Kahlua
2 ice cubes
- Blend everything in a blender just until smooth. Serve with a straw (or two)
What do you say, love or hate?
Hi Sue. I have never heard of a hummer cocktail (nice name BTW), but I like the looks of this one so put me down for LOVE. This looks great and something I would definitely share with my hubby, so 2 straws please.
ReplyDeleteHow about I love to hate you for this - just kidding! Why are there two straws? What makes you think I would share this? Sounds pretty darn delicious to me. I had never heard of this but now that I have - it is stuck in the file drawer of my brain for a time when I NEED it.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have never heard of a hummer cocktail, and I just so happen to have a quarter bottle of kahlua left over from the winter holidays...I think I may know what I'm doing this weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so delicious! My ex-husband used to make what he called a grown-up chocolate milk shake with Kahlua, chocolate liquor, Frangellico, and a touch of cream. We would beg for them every summer! I like yours a bit better because of the ice cream. I just may have to try it with both coffee and chocolate. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really good, but I agree, add some ice cream! Actually I was planning to make a 'Nutty Irishman' version of this, with Frangelico and Bailey's.
DeleteThis looks evil and I could totally fall in love with it! YUM!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this looks so yummy. I love coffee ice cream too and would definitely use it. I bet they go down very easy.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, sounds like pure LOVE to me
ReplyDeleteOh, golly...love.love. I have to crawl out from under my rock and say that I had never heard of a "Hummer". What would I do without bloggers to expand my world!!
ReplyDeleteSo the D invented a cocktail. What do you know? I think I'd LOVE. I just bought Haagen Daas coffee ice cream the other because it only has 5 ingredients, all of which are real. I was impressed!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling every one of the Haagen Daas flavors would be great in this, I think I'll experiment, it's a tough job, but someone has to do it!
DeleteThe D actually invented another cocktail, called "The Last Word." We don't just make cars here...we like to drink, too!
