Cocktail Week Stories:

This is an experimental series, where we dedicatedly look up cocktail recipes online and continue on our whims and fancy to make whatever we want with whatever we find lying around. The saving grace being the Wise Monkey Rum in most cases.

Wise Smoothie

The winner of this week’s wise cocktail was less of a cocktail and more of a healthy smoothie that actually makes you happy.

Adding in whatever snack she could find on the table, our friend Win whipped out a cocktail and managed to bring out one of the best drinks we’ve had in a while.

I admit watching the process was a little scary because she just went crazy blending in whatever she could classify as “edible” from the table. A whole lot of milk, smoked cheese, coconut almonds, bananas, and a lot more of Wise Monkey Café Rum.

All these ingredients just happened to be lying around and she went “Eh why not?”. So, without as much as of googling “how to use cheese in cocktails”, she presented to us a blended mix of her craziness.

It had the nutty crunch, a slight thickness courtesy of the bananas, and a surprisingly perfect balance with the milk, cheese, and rum. The cocktail felt like an entire meal in itself.

So, if you happen to find these ingredients lying around on the table next time, you know precisely what to do with them.
